SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- As the White Sox gauge the trade market for?Chris Sale, their decision to pursue a deal or stand pat will be rooted in baseball concerns rather than any lingering animosity from past confrontations with the teams ace.Sales ongoing differences with the Chicago front office came to the fore in July when he sliced up the teams throwback uniforms rather than wear them in a game. He received a five-game suspension for insubordination and destroying team equipment.But White Sox general manager Rick Hahn told ESPN.com on Tuesday that past rifts will play no part in the teams offseason deliberations.Its a nonfactor, Hahn said from the MLB general managers meetings. Its zero factor from our standpoint in terms of his fit with us or our belief that he can help be the anchor of a championship-caliber rotation.Whether it influences some other clubs view of him, I dont know. I dont think it should. I think a lot of what weve seen from Chris is part of what makes him great. Its that competitiveness, that fight, that sometimes spills over a little bit into areas outside the white lines. Its part of what makes him so good during the game.Sale, 27, is likely to be a hot commodity for teams in search of a front-line starter because of his track record and his contract. Since 2012, Sale ranks fifth among MLB starters with a 3.04 ERA, third in strikeouts (1,133) behind Max Scherzer and Clayton Kershaw, and third in baseball-reference.coms wins above replacement (27.6) behind Kershaw and Scherzer.Sale is under contract for $12 million next season, and the White Sox have club options for $12.5 million in 2018 and $13.5 million in 2019.Sale, Chris Archer, Zack Greinke, Justin Verlander and Sonny Gray are among the front-line starters who have been mentioned as potential trade targets in an extremely weak free-agent market. Rich Hill, Ivan Nova, Andrew Cashner and Jeremy Hellickson are the top available free agents.The White Sox finished fourth in the American League Central with a 78-84 record this past season and havent finished above .500 since 2012. Manager Robin Ventura resigned at the end of the season, and Rick Renteria was chosen to replace him.While a Sale trade would be a clear indication that the White Sox plan to rebuild rather than try to make a playoff push in 2017, Hahn declined to address which way the team might be leaning.We have a pretty firm sense internally about what we want to accomplish, Hahn said. But Ive been saying this for months back in Chicago: Theres just not any advantage to us to declare publicly exactly what were trying to accomplish.Once we start making deals, well explain precisely the rationale behind them. Are we looking to add and compete right now, or are we looking for a more long-term benefit? The last few years, weve taken a shorter-term, stopgap type of approach, and obviously that hasnt borne fruit. Angels Jerseys 2019 .500 on the season.

The charges include fixing and failing to report fixing for two Serie B matches -- Bari-Treviso (0-1) in May 2008 and Salernitana-Bari (3-2) in May 2009. Among those named were Bari captain Francesco Caputo, former Bari captain and Torino goalkeeper Jean Francois Gillet and ex-Juventus assistant coach and Bari player Cristian Stellini. Inter Milan defender Andrea Ranocchia and Juventus coach Antonio Conte, who were both with Bari at the time of the alleged fixes, have been cleared of wrongdoing. Bari risks starting next season with a points penalty, having already been docked seven points for other fixing cases in the recently concluded seaason in which it finished 10th in Serie B.dddddddddddd Most of those named by the federation have also been indicted by a judge in Bari on charges of committing sports fraud. At least 50 people have been arrested in Italy for match-fixing since the middle of 2011, with scores more under investigation by prosecutors in Cremona, Bari and Napoli. The Bari prosecutors have based a large part of their inquiries on the confessions of former Bari defenders Masiello and Vittorio Micolucci. Masiello, who was among those called in by the federation Thursday, was arrested last year, while Micolucci was involved in the Cremona inquiry and already banned by sports authorities. Sports trials focused on match-fixing have been held in Rome the past two years, and four Serie A clubs were penalized points in the recently concluded season. ' ' '
