Looks like it's only a 3 year deal Follow Patrick SaundersVerified account ‏@psaundersdp Gerardo Parra's agent says he's looking for 3-year deal. #Rockies one of three teams in the mix. Hopes for decision soon.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 11, 2016 -> 05:12 PM) And then he'll hit .350 against us and screw us out of at least 2-3 games. That's why I was hoping the Sox would sign him to platoon with LaRoche

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 11, 2016 -> 05:42 PM) No one is giving him that type of deal. That's why he's still unsigned. Yep, and since no one knows what he'll eventually get, it's far too early to say it was a failure by Hahn if they didn't get him.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jan 11, 2016 -> 05:25 PM) That would be a major failure on their part. Major, major failure. What if Cespedes ends up getting 5/125 from some team? For me, I think he will be a massive flop with that type of contract.

You know the Sox would love to get Carlos Gomez, but cost would be sky high and he's a FA

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jan 10, 2016 -> 10:05 PM) FWIW SOURCE: @Yankees and @RedSox both meet with #YoenisCespedes over the weekend! #Cespedes "...no problem" taking a 1 year deal #Powerball @ https://mobile.twitter.com/LErikRenne/statu...302426756939776 Another random Twitter tool I assume. Wouldn't shock me at all. I'm questioning just how involved the Sox have been with Cespedes.

I think Walsh was too worried about Sherman coming from the right

Time to move on from Alexei

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 10, 2016 -> 06:09 AM) Im more of a baseball fan and usually just want to see good games. This was awful. Playoff football is usually pretty good. Similar especially with Bears not playing. Last two weeks of bowl games and these two today have been of terrible quality

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 10, 2016 -> 05:05 AM) Bengals' fans and certain defensive players are absolutely classless. It was hard to choose between rooting for these guys or a rapist QB. I ended up choosing neither. Don't forget good ole James Harrison as well

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 10, 2016 -> 06:01 AM) By throwing things on the field? Absolutely

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 10, 2016 -> 04:59 AM) Cincinnati's fanbase is complete trash. Shame on them. They reacted same way every fan base would.

Some true scumbags on both of these teams

That penalty on Jones was a joke. Get Porter away from the opposition. Can both teams be eliminated

Marvin Lewis should be fired about ten seconds after this game ends

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 10, 2016 -> 04:41 AM) Dexter Fowler. Preference or info?

McCarron choking hard

Also, Fowler is pretty bad on defense. His numbers probably looked better last year due to shifting

QUOTE (Tony @ Jan 10, 2016 -> 02:55 AM) The pick inclusion sucks, but I'm warming to the idea of Fowler more and more. Him batting 2nd or 5th with Eaton moving over to RF. It looks like he'll have a 3/30 price tag attached to him, which is certainly manageable. He will get way more than ten a year though. Something to keep in mind is he is way better against LHP, and he won't face that many do to the Sox having 4 of them.

Cafardo usually has good info. Doesn't mention Sox with Cespedes, but says Tigers have been discussing him a lot. http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2016/01/...l?event=event25

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jan 9, 2016 -> 06:16 PM) The linked article does not say that. But it does say the sox low balled Upton on a short term deal. I saw the other article yesterday and it was based on no facts or rumors and just where each would fit the best

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jan 9, 2016 -> 05:14 PM) "Sources told ESPN's Jim Bowden that the 28-year-old Upton has been offered low-ball, short-term offers from both the Chicago White Sox and the Los Angeles Angels." The more time goes by, the more I believe the Sox won't go more than 3 years on anyone

Article says Sox offered Upton a short-term deal http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/14531913...-larry-reynolds

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 9, 2016 -> 05:41 AM) It's been like an hour and it's a Friday. And just because a guy suggests something or not doesn't mean that's the definite case. They have Saunders, Pillar and Bautista in the OF with Pompey waiting. They have no openings.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 9, 2016 -> 05:40 AM) Yep, gotta agree. They could sign a big bat and trade Pompey for a comparable young starting pitcher. I definitely would not over-look the Jays at this point and the kicker is they are not afraid of long term commitments. Aren't they notorious for not giving long-term deals
