White Sox Seek Gus Zernial Return from A's
Chicago Tribune reports the White Sox offer $150,000 to acquire outfielder Gus Zernial from the Philadelphia Athletics. General Manager Frank Lane plans to finalize the deal to return Zernial to Detroit games Monday and Tuesday as Ed Burns notes. Zernial, 30, previously starred with 43 homers and 108 RBIs last season, and would bolster a lineup missing power. Minnie Minoso, who joined in the 1951 swap involving Cleveland, is currently present as a key outfielder.
