I still don’t think signing Cespedes in 2016 would have been bad. If the Sox wanted to compete in 2016 which they claim they did, he was clearly necessary (that was born out).

Obviously signing him to the 1 year 2016 deal would have been ideal, but maybe away from the Mets brutal injury luck, their insane need to play him in CF so much, maybe the Sox could have gotten more out of him.

Same basic problem - talent of a 70 win team, thought they were 1 player away from winning 95. Cespedes woulda made them better, but their #4 and #5 starters were still Mat Latos and John "Shoulder fell apart" Danks, they had no depth when Petricka and Putnam got hurt, Jimmy Rollins was their starting SS, etc. Roster was a couple of legit players and then Ricky trying to patch over gaping holes. Even with Cespedes, and the scenario where the White Sox keep him healthier, they were totally outgunned by actual good teams.

Sure but it wouldn’t have been this bad signing people hype it up to be, and the contract is not that hard to move has the Mets not metsd him

any news in the last 24 hours?

No, there is a report based on a rumor that Yankees offer WAS 7years 220mil.

Hector insists Sox offered 8years, 250mil.  

It could be Sox offer is still on the table as the highest one, waiting to see who blinks first.

I thought the Yanks were out... LOL

They are. 

Unless they completely change their minds and go all out which no one would know that. Especially not the supposed insiders on twitter that are claiming to be hearing that the Yankees are going to get either Mm or Harper.
