Paul Konerko on Jim Thome going away:
“I mean definitely tough to see [Thome] go. Great teammate, great guy. He was everything he was cracked up to be before he got here. It was great. As far as me with him, it’s going to fall short by this month and hopefully next year. That’s a pretty good amount of time as well. We did some good thing. I could always say I played with him, like everyone else in here. You play with a legend like that, it was definitely a privilege. That’s the business we are in.
Cowley has a lot more quotes from the Sox on the Jim Thome and Jose Contreras trades.
