The pieces are there for that to happen. Aaron Rowand could be moved. So could Orlando Hernandez or Jose Contreras. Damaso Marte will probably be moved. So KW will be active on the trade market this off-season no doubt.
In terms of a lot of money, besides Konerko, it only really needs to be an upgrade at third, DH and another lefty reliever perhaps.
- Rowand could be gone, replaced by Anderson. More likely would be Dye being gone in my view and put Anderson in RF.
- Marte moved for, well, whatever he could yield. Hopefully more than a one armed man.
- Konerko gone via FA. Thomas gone via FA. Everett gone via FA. Rogowski or Gload gets a shot or you go get Tracy or Overbay.
- El Duque moved for, well, whatever he could yield, similar to Marte.
- If you can move Jose Contreras for a good bat, you do it. Otherwise, you keep him and talk about an extension.
- McCarthy goes to the rotation.
There are other moves that can be done as well.
