Buehrle takes mound with uncertain future

Jun 27, 2007 - 3:21 PM Chi White Sox (31-42) at Tampa Bay (33-42) 7:10 pm EDT

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (Ticker) -- Scouts from all over the major leagues will be in attendance on Wednesday when the Tampa Bay Devil Rays host the Chicago White Sox.

They will be on hand to watch mark Buehrle (4-4, 3.39 ERA), who is quickly becoming the most sought-after player on the trading block this season. Chicago general manager Ken Williams recently announced his intention to begin rebuilding, and his veteran lefthander appears to be the first to leave town.

A free agent after the season, Buehrle is unlikely to re-sign with the franchise that drafted him in the 38th round in 1998, making him the most likely of all the White Sox's veterans to be moved before the July 31 trading deadline.

Buehrle has been solid for struggling Chicago this season, tossing a no-hitter on April 18 against Texas, and allowing just four runs in 23 combined innings over his last three starts.

The Devil Rays will counter with rookie Andy Sonnanstine (1-2, 6.58). The 24-year-old righthander has lost his last two starts, allowing 11 runs in 12 combined innings.

The White Sox have won the first two games of the series despite striking out 26 times over that span.
