Konerko Says He'd OK Trade If It Helps Sox

Paul Konerko says that he would approve a trade from the White Sox if it helps the team going forward.

"You never know, because the answer could be you help them by leaving," Konerko said. "I would never be opposed to that. It doesn't have to be a breakup that's antagonistic. It doesn't have to be a thing where heads are butted."

Regardless, Konerko will always be loyal to the White Sox.

"I'm here for this organization -- whether I play for another team or whatever, it won't matter. I'll always be a member of the White Sox. If it ever got to a point like that where it's better for me, better for the team -- I would also look at the team I'm going to because I feel like you do go through hell to get that right. Only a small percentage of players get that right and I've got it, but again, we all hear that if we're not playing well this year, they're going to do something."

Thome Wants To Play Another Two Seasons

White Sox slugger Jim Thome said Wednesday that he plans to play at least two more seasons to reach 600 home runs and hopefully earn the World Series ring that he eluded him.

"Your body, as you get older, you feel different," Thome said. "Still, I feel good now."

Thome hit 34 homers last season with a .245 average and 90 RBIs.
