Some big names, but now it's a lot different and it's a developing team.". "He's played a long time and his numbers are proven and will speak... (MLB.com -- Baltimore Orioles)

In final hours, Reinsdorf signs off on Peavy Aug 1, 2009
" In Reinsdorf's long White Sox ownership tenure, dating back to 1981, he rates the magnitude of the Peavy trade right up there with the free agent signings of Carlton Fisk and Albert Belle. Neither Fisk nor Belle pushed the White Sox over the top for a championship, but maybe Peavy can be the missing piece in 2009, or in the next three years. Ultimately, the financial commitment to one pitcher was worth it in Reinsdorf's mind. "This game is all about trying to win for the fans," Reinsdorf said.... (MLB.com -- Chi White Sox White Sox)
