espn.com says "It sounds like Paul Konerko plans to stay in Chicago" in latest free agent report

i hope he does!

Meh, they might have just got that out of his speech at the parade, who knows. None of this stuff means anything to me until he signs here or somewhere else. Hopefully here.

Is this Hawk being very awkward in the chanting of Paulie at the parade?

"It sounds like Paul Konerko plans to stay in Chicago, which is bad news for the Mets, who crave a cleanup-hitting first baseman, and he's about it."

How many times are we going to see these stupid ass rumors until he signs somewhere?

 

About 1,000?

 

:rolly

how much do you guys think the angels and other teams are gonna offer him. It was only espn 1000 but they make it sound like anaheim is gonna offer a lot.

" PAWlee ! PAWlee ! " is wrong

Most of ESPN picked us to go third in the division.......ESPN knows nothing.........

Already under heavy discussion in other threads.

Um, ESPN reads the same articles we all about this stuff. Paulie's had some quotes about how hard it would be to leave and how he loves playing for the sox, but blah, blah, blah. He says this now, but I doubt it means much come negotiatiaton time.

 

Of course, I'd love to be pleasantly surprised. I don't think we can't afford Konerko, and I want him back, but I expect to pay for it.

It would be nice if ESPN was right for a change.

Until they announce that he has signed dont read into too much of this.

 

FA's say one thing, but their agents are out wooing everyone. One minute he cant leave here, the next minute Boston has history and a winning tradition, the next minute you will read about how he likes the California air or the nostaglia of Yankee stadium. Its all lip service until the two sides agree on a contract and its announced.

All we need to do is offer Paulie close to the highest offer he gets and maybe he will sign for less money.

And what if he decides he wants those last few million? I just hope we don't d*ck around with Paulie and try to offer him something crazy like money deferred to 2030. At some point, the difference between a $48 million contract and a $50 million contract isn't nearly as important as keeping the guy.

 

Hopefully he'll be nice enough to give us the chance to match any other offer he receives, and if it is a sensible offer and not something obscene like Ordonez's deal, we should immediately match.

I've always wanted to know this but if your Paul Konerko what the hell is the difference between 48 and 50 million dollars?

To me, all that matters is that maybe it's a reason to sign with Anaheim instead of Chicago. I don't want him to have that reason.

All I ask is for the White Sox to give him a good offer.... if he doesnt take it thats fine thanks for helping us win the WS and good luck to you....

He'll get a good offer: 4 yrs 48 and I think Kenny would even go 4 yrs 52. The problem is going to be that 5th year I think. I dont think Kenny will go 5 and I think the Angels might.

Great you mean the Same ESPN, that said we would be 4th place finish..They all knowing and wonderful.

I'm pretty sure he said he'd prefer David Segui though.

How much do you offer, and what's your contingency plan?
