Paul Konerko: White Sox Contract 37.5 M Deal
One of the most sensational sports events this year is Paul Konerko finally deciding to stay with the Chicago White Sox and signing a three-year contract for a $37.5 million. Paul Konerko is the first baseman for the White Sox, a four-time All-Star. Konerko will get $12,000,000 for each of the next 2 seasons and $13.5,000,000 in 2013 under Wednesday's agreement. The last year’s earnings, $7 million, will be equally divided and annually paid in $1,000,000 increments from 2014 till 2020. Being just 34 years old, he was 5th in voting for AL MVP this year after hitting .312 with 39 homers and 111 RBIs. He is going to become a part of a lineup that includes slugger Adam Dunn, who just signed a $56,000,000 four-year contract. "We have made no secret of the fact that re-signing Paul Konerko was our top offseason priority," stated Kenny Williams, the White Sox GM. "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." Konerko was the one who helped the White Sox win the 2005 World Series. He is second only after Frank Thomas in the team’s history with 358 career home runs, 1,127 RBI and 701 extra-base hits. Created by http://bit.ly/DCNliveeBook , original is here http://bit.ly/gGtpGR
