White Sox general manager Ken Williams indicated Monday that he is reluctant to trade John Danks. Danks is drawing interest around the league, including multiple reports connecting him to the Rangers, but Williams isn't sure he will be able to get fair value in return. "First of all, the climate for teams giving up young pitching hasn't been sunny in a few years," said Williams. "Secondly, it's seems like every year, we all sit down and people are worried about the pitching." Danks, who turns 27 in April, is due between $7-8 million in his final year of arbitration.

The Rangers have expressed interested in acquiring John Danks, according to FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal. The White Sox are looking to move payroll and Danks is a prime candidate to be dealt. It would all seem to indicate the Rangers are prepared to evaluate fallback options in case free agent C.J. Wilson departs, and Danks could potentially be their top choice. The 26-year-old lefty posted an 8-12 record in 27 apperances this past season, with a 4.33 ERA and 135/45 K/BB ratio.

According to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com, the White Sox are drawing interest in John Danks and Gavin Floyd.

John Danks was decent against the Royals Sunday, surrendering four runs -- three earned -- on 10 hits over six innings in a 10-5 win. It wasn't a great effort, but after Danks served up 21 runs over his previous three outings, it's definitely a step in the right direction. The owner of a 4.36 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP for the year, he'll try for win No. 8 next weekend in another matchup with the Royals.

John Danks got roughed up by the Tigers on Monday, allowing eight runs (seven earned) on 11 hits and two home runs in five innings of a White Sox loss. He struck out five, walked three and allowed back-to-back home runs to Jhonny Peralta and Ryan Raburn in the second inning. Danks has now allowed at least five runs in each of his past three starts, ballooning his ERA from 3.63 to 4.36. He'll try to get on track in Kansas City this weekend.

John Danks allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks in six innings on Wednesday, falling to 6-11 in Chicago's loss to the Twins. He struck out four in his second consecutive non-quality outing since three-hitting the Mariners on August 27. Danks will take a 4.09 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 122/42 K/BB ratio into his Monday start against the Tigers.

John Danks pitched his second career shutout and struck out 10 in a victory over the Mariners on Saturday. It was a three-hitter for Danks, who pitched just his fourth career complete game. He's 6-1 in his last 11 starts after going 0-8 in his first 11.

John Danks held the Royals to two runs on four hits and four walks in six innings of work on Sunday, striking out six in a 6-2 White Sox victory. Danks actually threw five innings of hitless ball before allowing all four of his hits in the sixth inning. Now 5-9 with a 3.95 ERA and 1.33 WHIP, he'll get the Rangers at home next Saturday.

John Danks allowed one run in six innings and struck out a season-high 10 Wednesday in a victory over the Tigers. Danks has been very sharp in both of his starts since coming off the disabled list. Of course, he was also pitching much better before suffering a strained oblique. In his last six outings, including the one in which he was hurt in the second inning, he's given up a total of four earned runs and lowered his ERA from 5.25 to 3.79.

John Danks was excellent in his return from the disabled list on Wednesday evening against the Royals, allowing just five hits in seven scoreless innings of Chicago's eventual 2-1, 11-inning loss in Kansas City. He struck out six while issuing just one free pass, throwing 110 pitches. Tonight was as good an effort as could have been hoped for with Danks returning form a strained oblique, and gives him a 3.92 ERA and 1.32 WHIP heading into his next start, which should come against the Tigers at home.
