Al Lopez's Ghost Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 07:29 PM) Uh oh, cue the ARod for LaRoche rumor... IIRC, aren't JR and ARod friends? Recue: but where would he play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 08:17 PM) What would you pay Cespedes if it was up to you? At this point? Cespedes was the one I wanted least of the big three, but: I'd go up to 5/125. He's a four win upgrade over Avi and I believe in this team as a mid-80's winner with that upgrade.

I don't really believe ARod is coming to play for the Sox. Pretty sure ARod and JR go back a few years so if they had lunch there's probably nothing to it.

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) The 3 year thing has been said so many times already that I'm starting to believe it.

caulfield12 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2016/1/19/1079...7764.1441920792 Why the Justin Upton contract is the best move of the offseason... Stuck it here because it has a very good discussion of the ramifications of the opt-out trend in baseball and why it's much more likely the Tigers don't end up with Upton long-term but get the benefit of his services these next two years that are probably the last open window of contention.

EvilJester99 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 If its really 3yrs or bust.. Cespedes wont be signing here.. however, more than likely just BS.. I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I really don't see him signing for 3 years so I call bs. Maybe opt out after 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Why is it that Bbbby boy keeps touting the same thing even after other sources have said the Sox were willing to go 4 years? Is Bobby being spoon-fed some nonsense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've posted so many links to the Cespedes saga I can't remember it all but I have seen a few times that the Sox were reportedly willing to go a fourth year. ChiSoxFanMike: you alright bud? I'm starting to wonder if you will melt down if Cespedes doesn't sign. You're too young to be on heart medications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
