According to this article, The Mets, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Angels and Dodgers, Minnesota Twins and Chicago Cubs are among the teams expressing interest in Soriano, according to sources.

I'd take this over Konerko any day. Right handed bat with pop, not yet at his prime, much younger. If he ever learns to stop swinging at those balls low and away he really could be an MVP.

Konerko signed

Konerko re-signs with White Sox for five years, $60M

The deal, said to be worth around $60 million, came a day after Konerko reportedly turned down a five-year, $65 million offer from the Baltimore Orioles.

The Los Angeles Angels were also said to be making a major push to sign the first baseman.

He hit .283 with 40 home runs and 100 RBI, and had 41 homers and 117 RBI in 2003. Those power numbers have made Konerko a coveted commodity on a free-agent market short of impact players.

Hits in one of the best offensive parks in the majors, has awful road splits (.224/.265/.374 on the road). An incredible ripoff by the Yankees at the time the A-Rod trade went down, he's only declined further since then, plus his defense is getting worse as well. BPro's Rate2 stat says he hasn't even been league average in any full year, plus he just declined to 83 from a 93 score in 2004 -- simply deplorable, and a huge step down from AK (103 in 2005).

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

defense is important

kennedy has worked hard and is an incredible defender. I am not sure why anyone would consider upgrading that position at this time. you do not give up great defense and chemistry just for a bat.
