There's a better chance we trade for the other CarGo Jerry CrasnickVerified account ‏@jcrasnick The #Astros have inquired on #Braves CF Ender Inciarte. Presumably would have to move Carlos Gomez to make a deal work.

If the Cubs end up trading Soler to Tampa for pitching, you have to think Fowler going back to the Cubs comes into play big time.

For Illinois fans, he did the Mich St game with Calhoun last week

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 03:48 AM) What about a 3 or 4 year offer with the 1st 2 years being guaranteed of $20m/$25/$25/$20 with a player opt out after the 2nd year? Does Cespedes, or Upton for that matter, sign that if offered? Would that do it, or would someone beat that offer? I think this is only type of deal that could work

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 04:42 AM) Watch more DePaul ;-) Pretty sure DePaul wouldn't be trailing 80-42 to Nebraska

Not sure I have ever seen a worse coach than Pitino Jr

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 03:25 AM) Levine mentions a pitcher and Avi for CarGo would get it done. Adams and Avi, would you do it? Absolutely, in a heartbeat

Awful article by Levine. Avi wouldn't be the main piece, it would be Q or Rodon

After Parra mentioned today how excited he is to go play with his BF cargo, it makes me think Dickerson or Blackmon will most likely be traded

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 09:57 PM) This is not the PBP job. This the radio pre-game and post game show host. He is doing Chris Rongey's job, not Hawks. I'm aware, I was referring to the strong possibility of Swirsky taking over for Hawk

Hopefully he's a good fit here. With Hawk taking more time off, I'm not looking forward to hearing Swirsky play a game of 200 Questions every home game with Stoney

If true, you have to think Adams is used as trade bait for Cargo Brandon Moss - OF - Cardinals MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch writes that Brandon Moss "will get the first chance to entrench himself at first base" with the Cardinals.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 10:19 PM) I agree. However, wasn't Davidson really acquired to fill the hole at 3RD? If he had developed as hoped, it might have eliminated the need to trade for Frazier, but I don't think it would have changed the outfield picture much. However, to your point, Davidson is another example of a poor choice in position players. This organization is currently just not very good at identifying position players. Thank goodness for Abreu. If Davidson was decent, they wouldn't have needed to trade for Frazier and would have more resources left to upgrade at OF.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 10:14 PM) We need one fully determined tool from him..by this point.. and we have zero. And it's not just that the tools aren't above average, they're mostly grading out as awful

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 10:11 PM) Kinda funny that avi has had one full season and now he's considered a horrible bust. Well, he's performed so badly that the organization is almost definitely looking for an upgrade already.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 09:07 PM) The current Sox outfield is a bit of a mess, and doesn't inspire much confidence in this front office. None of our current outfielders are home grown products. They were all acquired, over the last 3 years, through trades or free agency. One would think that they would have been able to put together a decent outfield. However, here are the facts: 1) Defensively, the Sox arguably have 3 left fielders. None of them is a viable candidate for RF, and only one is a credible center fielder, just barely. 2) Not one of them is likely to hit even 20 homers 3) Not one of them is likely to steal more than 20 bases. I like Eaton, and Melky is an OK player. It's too soon to pass judgement on Avi. What grade would you give the front office on the construction of this team's outfield? Davidson and Avi being horrible busts has really hurt

Probably the last post in this thread: Follow Joe FrisaroVerified account ‏@JoeFrisaro The signing of Wei-Yin Chen basically ends any thoughts the #Marlins have about trading OF Marcell Ozuna for a pitcher.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 09:57 PM) So, in other words, we have a 2500+ post thread here and Cespedes will be signing elsewhere. Great. I f***ing hate the Sox sometimes. The team that signs Cespedes to a huge deal is going to really hate it in 2018-2019. The one thing I can't get over is that none of these guys are good fits, as the Sox need a right fielder and none of them fit the mold. It's a lot of money to spend for someone that won't improve your defense very much due to shuffling. Also, shouldn't you be concerned about Hahn and company potentially giving out the biggest contract in team history after the disaster that last year's FA spending was for them?

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 08:47 PM) I agree, and think the return should be less than the Frazier deal. If it is, Sox should jump on it. With what? There's very little in the system that has value that other teams couldn't EASILY beat

From mlbtraderumors chat: Justin Cespedes to white sox before soxfest? Can't see the ChiSox ponying up for him at this point, and I've been led to believe that their interest in Cespedes has been somewhat overstated. Steve Adams

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 08:26 PM) If Sox can nab CarGo and hold onto Anderson/Fulmer, make the deal. Is it a stretch to think we could bring in 2 OF's? One on a trade (from Colorado, maybe they would take Laroche, a prospect and $$), and sign one of the remaining FA's (Fowler)? That would leave Sox with Fowler and CarGo playing the corners and move Melky to DH. They'd have to bump up payroll obviously, but it doesn't seem too drastic. Anyone? No chance, way too much money. Sox don't seem to match up at all with the Rockies. Still think it's either Cardinals or Orioles if it's Cargo and Angels for Blackmon.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 08:58 PM) I think he ends up with the Mets, now that they're interested. Who knows, maybe both Cespedes and Upton sign 1 year deals and try again next offseason.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 07:24 PM) Please no Fowler... In recent days I've changed my mind on him. Definite upgrade over Avi and looks like they can get him for significantly less than what was originally thought.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 08:00 PM) Ehh I see no reason to really be worried about the Red Sox or Mets though. What other teams would jump in? I don't really see that many. Cardinals maybe
