November 23, 2005 - Phillies make a deal with the Chicago White Sox

Phillies give: 1B Jim Thome

It is being reported that the Phillies will pay about $22 million of the $46 million owed to Thome. Rowand earned $2 million in 2005 and is expected to receive $3.25 million in 2006. There is a club option for 2007 at $5 million and Rowand holds a player option for 2007 at $3.25 million. Busy time of year for all, so more will come at a later date.
