LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Chicago White Sox agreed to a three-year, $37.5 million deal Wednesday with free-agent first baseman Paul Konerko.
The contract breaks down as follows: $12 million in the first year; $12 million, second year; $6.5 million, third year; 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," White 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."
I'm actually really surprised by this. I thought the Dunn signing would have meant it'd be time for a change of scenery. I guess they're sticking Dunn in the DH spot full-time.

But I think baseball's always been his passion, where all the success of the Bulls was second in Reinsdorf's heart. And already having his '05 ring, he really didn't have to roll the dice here.
Check me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the playoff expansion is happening this season. Which means you've got the White Sox, Tigers, Twins, Red Sox, Yankees and Rays fighting for three playoff spots? (Bad enough for those clubs, much less fans of the other AL Central & East teams.)
