OmarComing25 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 09:44 AM) If Upton signs a one year deal before Cespedes signs, that could really put the Sox into a bind as it will put teams interested in Upton back into the Cespedes market. Which teams are interested in Upton that aren't also interested in Cespedes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've mainly just heard a lot more smoke from Texas around Upton and nothing on cespedes. They like him on a short term teal or longer term one that gets more expensive post-beltre contract I think I read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 09:46 AM) Unless it is with the Sox.. On a one year deal, I would imagine you can find a more competitive team to sign with, starting with a team like the Tigers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't think the Tigers are a lock to be better than the Sox next year, and the Cell is a better hitters park to post #'s in.

I get it and I usually don't try to jump down reporters throats but in like 30 minutes he tweets that the sox are willing to go 4 years for Upton or Cespedes and then that they're very unlikely to. Like I said, I understand what's going on but still all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) I don't see what's wrong with that tweet. "They're willing to go more than 3 but it is unlikely that they would." ....? It's possible that team could be willing but the chances are slim is what's it's saying. Edited January 8, 2016 by soxfan2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 It's becoming increasingly obvious Upton is going to be this year's big free agent that doesn't sign until late Jan/early February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
