The White Sox are expected to pour their financial resources into signing All-Star center fielder Torii Hunter. The effort begins Tuesday when teams are allowed to make financial offers to free agents other than their own.

Hunter could command a five-year deal worth $15 million annually.

One team source believed the Sox would be better off settling for free-agent fan favorite Aaron Rowand as their center fielder so they'd have more money to address other areas.
