The Chicago White Sox sign Paul Konerkon to a t$37.5 million deal to be a baseman for three years. Paul Konerkon will get $12 million in first year; $12 million in second year; $6.5 million in third; seven years deferred at $1 million each.
"We have made no secret of the fact that re-signing Paul Konerko was our top offseason priority," Sox general manger Ken Williams said in a statement. "Paul's value to the organization on the field and in the clubhouse can never be overstated. He is one of the greatest players in franchise history, and we hope he finishes his career in a White Sox uniform."
Williams said Tuesday that negotiations were at a standstill, prompting him
to start seriously considering other options. But that standstill didn't last
long. Movement toward an agreement started at about 1 a.m. ET.
