As far as Thome is concerned, he wouldn’t rule out a return to the Sox’s family.<\/p>\n
”My door is open,” said Thome, a free agent who spent nearly four full seasons with the Sox before being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Aug. 31. ”Just call me.” <\/span><\/p>\n Thome said he understands the business side of baseball while praising the entire Sox’s organization.<\/p>\n ”I want to play baseball,” Thome said. ”Right now we’re talking to a few teams, and we’ll see what happens. It’s been a slow winter in the market.”<\/p>\n Sox first baseman Paul Konerko, who started the campaign with Thome and their wives, doesn’t believe the door has closed on a return by Jermaine Dye and Thome.<\/p>\n ”There is still an outside chance on both of them, certainly Jim,” Konerko said. ”I wouldn’t shut the door on that yet. And even if it was for this year, I wouldn’t shut the door on it for the future. We’ll see. I like the way the team is shaping up otherwise.<\/p>\n ” … I know they’re going to be playing somewhere. When I show up to spring training and they’re not there, I’ll worry about that.”<\/p>\n Konerko said he was ”always” lobbying on Jim’s behalf, stating that Thome and Dye can remain productive players.<\/p>\n ”They’ll be fine, no matter what.”<\/p>\n In other Sox news, John Danks said a follow-up examination on his left index finger was fine.<\/p>\n ”I’m going to live,” Danks quipped in a text message.<\/p>\n Photo: Jim Thome salutes the White Sox fans in 2008.
