Paul Konerko was getting some sun when he thought he saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

"Funny thing," he said on a conference call Wednesday. "I'm down in Mexico lying on a chair looking at the ocean, and I got a text saying they just signed Adam Dunn to a deal. My first thought was it's been a fun 12 years, like it's an either him or me situation. Which in a way, this wears on you day in and day out, I thought at least it's closure to the saga and then I can move on.

"Then I remembered Kenny telling me at the end of the season, 'I don't want you or Adam, I want both of you.'"

What Kenny Williams and Jerry Reinsdorf and Konerko all wanted was to re-up the team captain to lead a contender for the next couple of years.

They achieved that wish Wednesday at the winter meetings, inking Konerko to a creative three-year, $37.5 million deal that will likely keep him on the South Side for 15 years.
Wow didn't expect him to re-sign with them
