'Kid K' on South Side? Wood said to interest Sox

ORLANDO -- Could one of the most storied Cubs of recent vintage wind up with the White Sox?
With the South Siders in need of relief help, especially in the eighth inning, it's not surprising that Kerry Wood's name would surface in rumors. And, according to a Twitter report from Fox's Ken Rosenthal, that's what has happened.
"Interest" and "signing" are not the same, because Wood is thought to be seeking a multi-year deal worth $9 million or more and the Sox are already considerably over budget.
Wood may return to the Yankees, who are balking at his payroll requests.
What makes the story interesting is that Wood and his family still live in Chicago and he wants to pitch for a winner.
But White Sox GM Kenny Williams has said he does not expect to add relief help at the winter meetings, which end Thursday, and Wood likely will not sign until the market for relievers is set.
Ex-Sox J. J. Putz was just signed by Arizona for two years and $8 million.
