The White Sox, frustrated by their inability to acquire Nationals first baseman Adam Dunn, instead are on the verge of ending up with one of the Nationals’ leading targets: Diamondbacks right-hander Edwin Jackson.

The Sox are in serious discussions about a trade in which they would obtain Jackson for rookie right-hander Daniel Hudson and a prospect, according to major-league sources.

The trade of Jackson would be the Diamondbacks’ second major move in a week. On Monday the team sent ace right-hander Dan Haren to the Angels for left-hander Joe Saunders and three younger pitchers. Additional trades by the D-Backs are likely before the non-waiver deadline Saturday at 4 p.m. ET.

While the White Sox coveted Dunn, they shifted their focus to a starting pitcher after growing discouraged about their chances of completing a trade with the Nationals, sources say.

The Sox need for another starting pitcher arose after right-hander Jake Peavy was lost for the season with a shoulder injury. Hudson, who replaced Peavy, has a 6.32 ERA in three starts and is next scheduled to pitch Friday night against the A’s.

The Chicago White Sox acquired starter Edwin Jackson from the Arizona Diamondbacks for rookie starter Daniel Hudson and pitching prospect David Holmberg.

The White Sox are also responsible for Jackson's entire $8.75 million contract next year.

Jackson is 6-10 with a 5.16 ERA in 21 starts this year. He threw a no-hitter against the Tampa Bay Rays on June 25.

Hudson, scheduled to start Friday night, is 2-2 with a 4.72 ERA in nine games, including four starts.
