The possibility of Steve Sax’s being traded from the New York Yankees to the Chicago White Sox increased when the second baseman waived his right to block a deal to Chicago.

Yankee General Manager Gene Michael, who backed away from a deal last week, said that he will speak again with White Sox General Manager Ron Schueler.

New York could get pitcher Melido Perez and another player.

The Yankees hope to start Pat Kelly at second base and signed free-agent infielder Mike Gallego for $5.1 million over three years, making a deal for Sax seem likely.
