White Sox Still Want Konerko Even After Dunn Signing

Paul Konerko-1B-White Sox Dec. 2 - 4:42 pm et

According to Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times, several White Sox players believe the club is close to re-signing Paul Konerko.
The White Sox are also near a deal with free agent Adam Dunn. GM Kenny Williams has a reputation for being aggressive and moving quickly in negotiations, so it's quite possible that both are signed before next week's Winter Meetings. The Diamondbacks and Orioles were also showing interest in Konerko, who batted .312 with 39 homers and 111 RBI this past season in Chicago.

yup

Then they'd have 2 bad defensive 1st baseman...

again, konerko is not a "bad" 1bmn, so not true.

you would take konerko and dunn all day long on the northside.

USC obviously doesn't watch that much baseball as Paulie is one of the best defensive 1B in the game.

 

[DewsSox79]

"not only do we have the room, that would be the ideal situation" when KW was asked about having both dunn and konerko.

wow.....we hear about this budget and money....wow.

 

[BigP50]

that would be a stacked line up, especially if u add Tank to the mix.

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

Ya man dang!!! WASH, this shows how stupid you are!! You couldve had atleast prospects for Dunn! I know they get draft picks

 

[DewsSox79]

lets just say that paulie doesnt comeback, obviously KW will get someone else of close value of paulie. So basically it looks like we are in the market still for a 1bmn. so my question is......is carlos pena, lance berkman ok for a signing now that we got dunn?

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

It also seems dew, that were pressing to hear fast from Konerko, like we have deals in place...?? thats how it sounded on Hot Stove Live

Ya knowing KW there's more cooking!! UGH!! If we only knew what

Heyman says there's a good chance the Sox will retain Koneerko. Sayin'....

He always rejects Balt
Cubs want a lefty 1B
Arz not likely to spend

I think Konerko will re-sign with the Sox for 3 years at 9-10M per. So, a total of 27-30M.

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

Agree

keep predicting, ever since you predicted the sox getting dunn you are our lucky charm

LMAO come on dude knock it off. Biased post of the year ftw. He's been declining the past few years, he's hardly bad but he isn't that good either.
