The Associated Press FILE – In this Sept. 23, 2011, file photo, Cleveland Indians’ Kosuke Fukudome bats against the Minnesota Twins during a baseball game in Cleveland. Kosuke Fukudome is joining the Chicago White Sox for a fraction of the price he cost the Chicago Cubs four years ago. The outfielder agreed Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2012, to a one-year contract that guarantees $1 million. He will get a $500,000 salary this year, and the White Sox have a $3.5 million option for 2013 with a $500,000 buyout. (AP Photo/Mark Duncan, File)
