Not going to freak out if Upton goes elsewhere. Cespedes still makes the most sense due to the lack of pick attached to him.

Motte got a lot of money for his awesome clapping during the postseason

Every other writer has said it's not true...we will see tonight as he's supposed to choose

Article says Padres might be closer to getting him http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/white-sox/...hite-soxs-radar

Good luck Hahn, can't see another team being interested. Pirates likely to get Moreland and Orioles will get Alvarez

If trade does happen, what a terrible job by Braves GM of turning Simmons and Miller into Newcomb and Baez

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 12:12 PM) i really don't even know why i am posting on this freaking thread, my hatred for anything northside is, well lets say well known. but these moves that they are doing, they are screwing up royally. here is a chance to really put the driving nail in the coffin of the sox and their pr media circus and what are they doing????? going the sox owners route by going cheap. thank you to the sCrubs ownership for their inbred stupidity. They are going to go all out to get Heyward to play CF and bat lead off

Seems like Heyward will be the first to go, followed by Gordon and then Cespedes/Upton. I expect once the Cubs trade Soler, that's when outfielders start making their decision.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 05:07 AM) Cinci's asking price is exorbitant for Frazier. I don't see it happening unless they change what they want. Lots of suitors too. Yep, Sox don't have the pieces they would want (since Rodon is going nowhere). Lawrie seems to be 100 times more likely.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 05:58 AM) I'd prefer CarGO over Frazier as he has a longer history of doing it. If you got him and one of Heyward, Cespedes or Upton. I'd feel way more confident. Cubs main target is Heyward now. We aren't outbidding them and the Cards for him.

Frazier would be our best overall non-pitcher by far

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 04:32 AM) Likely more Like 60 mil

QUOTE (danman31 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 03:26 AM) Why is Derrick Rose getting the final possession? Butler is the far better 1-on-1 player. Rose just throws up crappy shots at the end of games now. And an awful defensive lineup on last play

Too late for Thibs to return? Hoiberg was a horrific match for this roster.

Cowboys will have a closer next year

Where's kOna when you need him

You could easily watch this season of Homeland with no prior knowledge of other seasons

Dan Hayes seems to think there is no way they go after Upton

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 10:16 PM) A counterpoint to my preference for an all defense team is that we largely had a defensively enhanced team from july 31st onward and the team was still terrible and it was samardjizas worst stretch. That's cause we couldn't put fielders in the outfield bleachers

Seems like a quick, simple solution is to upgrade in RF. Avi brings nothing to the table offensively or defensively

QUOTE (coco1997 @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 09:12 PM) @blawrie13 12:56 PM 7 Dec 2015 Past behind me like a ponytail #RHand Indication that he's been traded? Nice find, should be interesting few hours

Dan Hayes said the asking price is outrageous

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 07:27 PM) I think it'll be Davis. Which means the set-set-up reliever market is getting pretty ridiculous. Soria's stuff was not very impressive when I saw him last year.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 06:37 PM) Just realized something about next season. The four best teams on ND's schedule [based on this year's rankings] (MSU, Stanford, Navy, USC) are all losing their quarterbacks. If next year isn't ND's year, it may never be. Miami will have the best QB they face

With regards to Upton, he has a lot of good tools on defense but just makes dumb mistakes.
