Sources both in the White Sox organization and the camp of free-agent outfielder Torii Hunter have told the Sun-Times that the two sides could be signing a contract within the week. According to one source, Hunter had met with the Sox twice in the last two weeks, getting the financial details of what was being offered in that second meeting. While an agreement had not been reached as of Monday afternoon, the source said that ?the climate?? was there for a deal to be announced soon, unless another team comes in at the last second and blows Hunter away with an offer. Enough so that Williams cleared the way for the Hunter acquisition by trading away Jon Garland and his $12 million contract for the ?08 season.
