(MCT) — NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The White Sox appear to be preparing for life without free agents A.J. Pierzynski and Kevin Youkilis.

"We do feel that some of the options we like are starting to come close to making a decision, whether it be via free agency or via trade," general manager Rick Hahn said Monday night, shortly after Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf and several high-ranking officials left a hotel suite. "And if we want to move forward, that very well may have to come to a head in the coming days. But we certainly don't feel any pressure that we have to make a move."
