While the baseball world was just rocked by Giancarlo Stanton's trade to the New York Yankees, the Chicago White Sox have no plans to add to the growing list of sluggers on the move.

Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported the White Sox would have to be "overwhelmed" to deal first baseman Jose Abreu, citing his strong presence in the clubhouse.

Abreu, 30, is heading into his second arbitration year after hitting .304/.354/.552 with 33 home runs and 102 runs batted in last season.

The White Sox went 67-95 last season and are clearly in the midst of a retooling phase with their franchise.
