Paul Konerko Rumors: Monday

By Tim Dierkes | December 6, 2010 at 11:56pm CDT

Paul Konerko led all free agents with 39 home runs in 2010.  The White Sox are considered the favorites, but the Rangers and Orioles are also in the mix.  Here's the latest on the first baseman:

  • Talks between Konerko and the White Sox seem to be going well, according to Jon Heyman of SI.com (Twitter link). Konerko will likely get $12.5MM per season, potentially for three years.
  • The White Sox are awaiting a response from Konerko and agent Craig Landis, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (on Twitter).
  • The White Sox will continue to have conversations with Konerko's representatives, according to Scott Reifert of the White Sox (on Twitter). GM Kenny Williams is neither optimistic nor pessimistic about reaching a deal.
  • White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, asked if he expects to sign Konerko by week's end, replied, "I hope so."  He also said Konerko "belongs in Chicago."  Jon Paul Morosi reported the quotes on Twitter.
  • Diamondbacks GM Kevin Towers "had extended talks" with Konerko, reports Tracy Ringolsby of FOX Sports.  However, ESPN's Buster Olney tweets that the D'Backs have had "virtually no dialogue with Konerko."  Konerko lives in the Phoenix area during the offseason.  Arizona's first round pick is protected, so they'd give up their second rounder to sign him.  The supplementary round is especially large this year, so second round picks will be pretty far down.
