1:51am: If the two sides were to agree on a deal, the second prospect heading to the D'Backs would also be a pitcher, reports Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (via Twitter).

 

1:14am: The White Sox are in "serious discussions" for Jackson, tweets Rosenthal. Chicago would send Hudson and another prospect to the D'Backs in the proposed deal.

 

12:26am: The White Sox are looking into acquiring Edwin Jackson from the Diamondbacks, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Although the Sox have been linked peripherally to Jackson for much of the week, reports to date have indicated that Chicago's only interest in the right-hander would be as a chip to facilitate a three-way Adam Dunn trade. Rosenthal suggests, however, that the Sox may be interested in acquiring and keeping Jackson, rather than flipping him.

 

While Chicago covets Dunn, they are becoming less convinced they'll be able to work out a deal with the Nationals before Saturday's deadline. As such, they've been focusing more on bolstering their starting rotation. Rosenthal writes that the Sox are exploring other pitchers in addition to Jackson, as they look to replace the injured Jake Peavy.

 

Peavy's current replacement in the rotation, Daniel Hudson, could be a key piece in a potential trade for Jackson, according to Rosenthal.

 

When are people going to realize that Edwin Jackson isn't that great? He has had literally only about 3 1/2 months of consistent success at the major league level as a starter in the last 4 years... why does he still have good trade value? I know he's still only 26... but he's just not good. Why is he able to be involved in trades for quality players like Max Scherzer and promising young prospects like Daniel Hudson? I'm not saying Hudson is Cy Young incarnate, but if I'm in a pennant race and I need a starter for my rotation the last name I would have on my list is Edwin Jackson. I'd rather test out Hudson

I read that the Sox would flip Jackson to the Nationals in a trade for Dunn.

I think Cowley tweet suggests that the Sox are trying to do something different knowing Jackson trade is still available. With KWs track record, it will be a deal no one has a clue about until it is completed.

 

I don't know if I would classify this as "big" but could Lilly be going to the White Sox?

It was the site for my CBS Sports fantasy league where I read the Jackson for Dunn rumor. I didn't post the link because only members of the league would be able to access the site. It may be posted on the main CBS Sports site too; I didn't check.

9:46am: Sox GM Kenny Williams has something big cooking, tweets Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times, and if he gets it done the Jackson deal is off. Meanwhile USA Today's Bob Nightengale tweets that the Sox would pay all of Jackson's salary if the deal gets done.

Bernstein was alluding to this yesterday. Basically saying that the Sox were going all in and contacting a lot of different teams to cook up a big (both in teams/players as well as names) deal or two.

And MLBTR:

 

We know the White Sox are seeking a mid-rotation starter and might pull off a deal for Edwin Jackson. But GM Kenny Williams is also quietly exploring acquiring Brett Myers from the Astros, tweets USA Today's Bob Nightengale. Myers is thought to be mostly unavailable, as the Astros hope to re-sign him and perhaps would prefer not to decimate their rotation for the rest of this year.

 

Williams might be burning up the phone lines with Ed Wade for multiple players, as AOL FanHouse's Ed Price tweets that there's buzz about the Sox going after Lance Berkman. It certainly seems that the White Sox will make some noise in the 28 hours leading up to the trade deadline.
