Kevin Youkilis Changes Sox As The South Side Rejoices

The Chicago White Sox traded for third baseman Kevin Youkilis on Sunday, and SB Nation Chicago editor Ricky O'Donnell can't think of a bad thing to say about it.

VIDEO: White Sox GM Kenny Williams Talks About Kevin Youkilis Trade

"At this point in time, we owe it to our fans and the men in that clubhouse in uniform to try to exhaust ourselves to be the best team we can possibly be."

These are the words of Chicago White Sox general manager Kenny Williams, who just completed a trade to bring longtime Boston Red Sox third baseman Kevin Youkilis to the South Side. Brent Morel couldn't hit, and the White Sox needed more offensive and defensive production than the recently signed Orlando Hudson could provide. Youkilis was only batting .233/.315/..377 in Boston this season, but the move still seems like a potentially low risk, high reward trade for the White Sox.

Stewart is 25 years old and is 1-2 this season with a 6.00 ERA and 1.50 WHIP. Lillibridge is valuable for his ability to play all of the diamond. The 28-year old was struggling at the plate this season, though, hitting just .175/.232/.190. Last season Lillibridge posted an impressive .845 OPS in 186 at-bats with the White Sox, finishing with 13 home runs.

Chicago White Sox Acquire Boston's Kevin Youkilis

The White Sox have reportedly acquired Kevin Youkilis from the Red Sox to take over at third base.

Kevin Youkilis Trade Rumors: Trade Talks Could Be In 'Final Stages'

The Chicago White Sox could be close to the first blockbuster trade of the 2012 MLB Season. According to FOX's Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi, the talks between the Boston Red Sox and White Sox are "more advanced" than any other team bidding for Kevin Youkilis, and the deal "could be approaching its final stages."

The Youkilis-to-Chicago rumors have heated up this week, and adding a healthy Youkilis at third base would give the White Sox one of the best lineups in baseball. It's unclear what exactly the White Sox will be giving up in the deal or which types of players (hitters or pitchers, prospects or major leaguers) the Red Sox covet.

Rosenthal and Morosi are also reporting that the Red Sox are willing to eat a majority of Youkilis' remaining salary, and that there will be a strong correlation between the type of player (or players) Chicago gives up and the amount of money that Boston is wiling to shoulder.

The trade rumors on Youkilis go back a few days, when it was reported that the Red Sox would be willing to consider a cash deal. As Ricky O'Donnell noted earlier Saturday, Youkilis was one of the best hitters in baseball from 2008-10, posting an OPS of .959 or higher in three consecutive seasons. But his production has decline significantly since.
