QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 04:21 PM) What's that "source's" name who said they would sign him? Bauer? I went back to page 250 and I can't find it What team are you talking about?

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 04:01 PM) I don't know how legit this guy is, so take it FWIW. @scotteRotoX Have it on very good word that the White Sox will not be in on Cespedes at all He's a fantasy writer and his source seems to be from metsblog.com he does seem popular though.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 03:51 PM) It's not a good tweet. "Oh, really, when the Sox are showing interest in a marginal reliever that hasn't signed yet and then sign them that shows they mean business?" I like Albers, but...what? That signing isn't indicative of anything from Sox. He was intentionally trolling.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 03:36 PM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 53s54 seconds ago The unknown in Cespedes talks is whether other teams also are in. @jonheyman first suggested that #Nationals’ offer could be five years. Rosie backtracking a bit here

Great news. Cheap too.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 03:02 PM) At this point, f*** it and offer 5/125. The Sox need Cespedes. If what we believe is true with Cespedes and the top thing to him aside from money is culture, no reason we should offer more than the nats.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 02:56 PM) Call me a homer but I still don't buy Cespedes to Washington. +1 No idea why the hell this board became so negative because the Nationals submitted an offer. It's one lower than we expected except were doomed now. It honestly made me more confident as I don't think it'll be hard to beat.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 02:06 PM) It's the 28th pick. There will be a great player available, but will the White Sox choose him? If you look at the actual 28th pick the last 7 years, there is one guy you wouldn't trade for Dexter Fowler, and that is Gerrit Cole who was selected with the 28th pick in 2008 by the Yankees. One problem, he didn't sign. The fact that the Sox would still have their normal draft intact makes giving up the draft pick no big deal to me, and it keep his suitors and therefore price tag a little lower. The draft pool money is just as important as the high pick itself. Last year our draft sucked because we were so limited financially.

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 01:28 PM) It's the years on the table that is probably making a difference. Not like the Sox are going to offer $100 for 3 years... We're going to offer 4. 4/90 should easily compete with that.

I don't get how anyone looks at that and thinks were out. That's lower aav than I expected.

Someone get faked by the Rosenthal account again?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 11:08 AM) What's pants looking for contract wise? Rowland died in 1969, so I'd guess cheap

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 10:31 AM) Cespedes' agent just followed the Nationals on Twitter Ha that's great. Makes me pretty confident his agent is stirring all the is Nats BS.

I think that NY Reporter is 12 years old. Like legit. He does have 15k followers so he may know what's up. Mets also signed Bastardo at 6 per.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 07:47 PM) Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 35s35 seconds ago The #Whitesox still have interest in Yoenis Cespedes, but have not changed stance: Nothing more than 3 years lmao Someone this afternoon called this exact tweet from Bob. Props are owed to you

Vince seems like good value

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 04:24 PM) Lol, hardly Pretty sure bucket is Rick Hahn so it's disappointing if it's not him.

QUOTE (GREEDY @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 04:22 PM) You are quoting yourself? Pretty sure he's quoting his source there. You know, bucket.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 02:44 PM) Sure, but not enough to leave tens of millions dollars on the table. Also, literally every MLB team contains Spanish-speaking players. Funny enough, that's the Mets pitch to him. He absolutely loves the Spanish culture of NYC and is reportedly willing to take a big discount to stay there.

We are officially in the most replied to thread in soxtalk history. Didn't think anyone would beat peavy.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 12:41 PM) I have very little doubt that Cespedes is going to sign with some random team out of nowhere. Nats are one of 3 reported finalists fwiw.

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 11:48 AM) I get that part, just not sure how it is done and what it ultimately really proves. http://www.tineye.com Assuming he found pic on another site of the actual guy

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 11:45 AM) Huh? He's saying the picture the guy uses is fake.

Time to change the thread title and get this party started.

Did Adams crack any top 2s? Guessing not
