ATLANTA -- The Braves have made a $14. Joe Berger Jersey .1 million qualifying contract offer to catcher Brian McCann for the 2014 season. General manager Frank Wren said Monday the team will not make a qualifying offer to pitcher Tim Hudson. The Braves have 2012 rookie Evan Gattis set to take over at catcher next season. The team is not expected to compete aggressively in the free-agent bidding for McCann, a seven-time All-Star. By making the qualifying offer, the Braves would receive a compensatory draft pick at the end of the first round if McCann signs with another team. Atlanta may attempt to re-sign the 38-year-old Hudson, whose season ended with a broken ankle on July 24. The Braves declined to exercise outfielder Reed Johnsons $1.6 million contract option.

Ill try to get through it the best way I can, a composed and touched Konerko told the crowd.Konerko got through the 35-minute presentation just fine. Then, he had a game to play.He went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts against Kansas City on Saturday, then was replaced prior to the top of the seventh by Andy Wilkins. Konerko took his spot at first base before being called back to the dugout and walked off to a standing ovation. He was summoned out for a curtain call.He is expected to be in the lineup on Sunday, then call it a career after 16 seasons in Chicago and 18 in the majors.A six-time American League All-Star, Konerko ranks second on the White Soxs list in homers, RBIs and games played. So its hardly a surprise he got saluted on his way out.And what a ceremony it was.Near the end, chairman Jerry Reinsdorf pointed toward the left-field concourse. Dozens of black and white balloons were set loose, revealing a bronze statue of Konerko waving his right fist, just as he did when he hit a grand slam against Houston in the 2005 World Series.Moments later, team broadcaster and emcee Ken Harrelson announced Konerkos number will be retired in 2015.The sold out crowd started chanting Paulie! Paulie! the moment family, friends and former teammates took their seats in the infield, and the roars continued throughout the ceremony.Along with the cheers and chants and video tributes, there were some impressive gifts.Among them were a painting, a frame with baseballs and the No. 14, and a 1963 Fender Stratocaster, fitting for a player who keeps a guitar by his locker.But one of the most unique gifts came right before the White Sox unveiled the statue.A video showing Konerko pressenting Reinsdorf the ball from the final out of the 2005 World Series at the championship rally a€” a moment the chairman said at the time was the most emotional of his life a€” had just finished. Tramaine Brock Jersey. Reinsdorf told Konerko he probably deserved it more but wasnt about to give it back. Instead, he had something else for his slugger.Out walked Chris Claeys, a film editor from Chicago. He caught Konerkos dramatic grand slam off Houstons Chad Qualls in Game 2 of the 2005 World Series, and on Saturday, he gave him the ball.It had been on display at Harry Carays Restaurant in Chicago for nine years, but when the White Sox contacted him a few weeks ago, he knew what he had to do. There was no money exchanged, Claeys said. He just got to sit in a suite with family and friends and received an autographed picture from Konerko, who thanked him from presenting the ball.I feel really good about it, Claeys said. Its really been a prized possession. Paul Konerko is such a cool guy. Hes so respectable and hes played here 16 years.Moments later, he became the ninth member of the organization honoured with a statue, including one shared by Nellie Fox and Luis Aparicio sharing one and another of Charles Comiskey. He will also be the 10th White Sox player to have his uniform number retired.After the ceremony ended, Konerkos three young children (Nicholas, Owen and Amelia) threw out first pitches. Then, it was time for their dad to play ball for one of the final times.Before that, it was time for current and past teammates to reminisce.Former White Sox player Greg Norton told this story.He had a personal trainer and we had a conditioning drill in spring training, and I think we had a 480-yard shuttle, Norton said. He came back talking all this trash that he was in great shape and that he was gonna beat me. ... Everybody went through the conditioning drill. They waited for the two of us. I absolutely destroyed him in the shuttle race, and to this day, he says he slipped and thats the only reason I beat him.Third baseman Conor Gillaspie mentioned the impact Konerko had on him.What he did on the field, everybody already knows, he said. But what a lot of people dont know is the awesome things hes shared with me the last couple years thats left a long-lasting imprint of things that are gonna help me down the road.
