First baseman Paul Konerko and the White Sox agreed to a five-year, $60 million deal on Wednesday. Konerko had other offers. He had more money out there. He could have tied himself up through 2011 if he'd really wanted to play in an East Coast city with a prominent aquarium. "But the story here," his agent, Craig Landis, told ESPN.com, "was that Paul just wanted to go back to the White Sox."
