The Jon Garland-for-Cabrera deal was completed in less than two weeks last November, and a natural fit for the Sox would be the Angels' Chone Figgins, who could bat leadoff and play third.Seems like a stretch to move Konerko. He's coming off his worst full season (.240 AVG, 22 HR, 62 RBI), and while he's not old (he turns 32 in the spring), Konerko isn't getting any younger.
But the Angels will need a first baseman if they can't re-sign free agent Mark Teixeira. Paul Konerko came close to signing with the Angels after the 2005 season and is friendly with Angels manager Mike Scioscia dating to their days in the Dodgers organization.
But Konerko has two years left on his contract and full no-trade rights. He also hit nine home runs in September and two in the American League Division Series after coping with slumps and injuries.
