QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Dec 22, 2015 -> 06:28 PM) Just spitballing, the Brewers look like a very slim maybe, and they might be your best shot, again, short of an injury that leaves some team scrambling to fill a spot. I'm just obsessing over keeping Melky out of right field if Gordon comes over, and trying to figure out a way to open up that specific roster spot. If Davis goes to the Orioles, then Alvarez almost definitely goes to Brewers

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 22, 2015 -> 05:20 PM) Do you guys read into the fact Gordon's market was relatively quiet all offseason, probably because it was assumed he would just resign with KC. But now we are hearing about the Wsox being interested, it just leads me to think Gordon and the KC FO couldn't agree on his worth or what the team was willing to pay, so his agent reopened talks. Again this could all be leverage but don't discount the fact of KC was low balling him with the hopes of a hometown discount that Gordon doesn't feel slighted by the fact they aren't willing to pay more. At the end of the day these guys are competitors and he would be foolish to turn down a larger contract in what will be his first big pay day, and what could be his last with his age. Up until a few days ago, I thought there was no way Gordon was going back to KC. Cardinals/Cubs/Giants/Angels seemed like best fits.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 22, 2015 -> 06:09 PM) Sounds like this Royals person is somewhat connected. Yep, this makes me think Gordon goes back to KC

Good news is that they have enough money available to at least be considering Gordon.

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Dec 22, 2015 -> 04:33 PM) Would De Aza start for the Mets or is that a 4th OF signing? Platoon with Lagares....Mets are out on Cespedes

Wonder if this allows them to trade Gonzales, Adams and more for Cargo

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Dec 22, 2015 -> 03:25 AM) I can't stand listening to Stacey when this team is bad, especially when he does interviews on ESPN 1000. It's ok being a homer, but he takes it to a whole other level. Hawk-esque?

Wtf was that play?

Paul Westphal looks so old

Nice dribbling Rose.... Guess his vision makes it hard to see defenders also

So do GarPax get fired after this season? Hoiberg looks overmatched

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 22, 2015 -> 12:30 AM) I'll be completely open & say, I'm not a fan of signing Gordon. Is he a good player? Yes. His age & limitations to LF don't really scream "smart signing" to me... +1 Much rather have Cespedes or Upton

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 22, 2015 -> 01:20 AM) I expect these guys to sign by Thursday. We'll see if that happens I could totally see Gordon signing with KC on Christmas

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 10:56 PM) But who has the team to bother with that? Carrying a player that requires a platoon that can play 1 OF position (poorly)? Rockies if they trade Cargo

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 10:25 PM) Kevin Gausman is an intriguing name to me but I think Baltimore is still high enough on him that they wouldn't trade him for Avi. they wouldn't trade him for Cargo

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 08:35 PM) SB Nation has an early mock draft with the Bears taking OT Ronnie Stanley. Seen quite a few scouts question his work ethic already.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 10:00 PM) I can't say whether it's true or not but the guy definitely has connections. Yep, wonder if Gordon himself told the guy this

Didn't really care for Homeland finale after a great season leading up to it

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 06:52 PM) I think Parra could be had for under $10 million for 2 years considering the market, but that's just me. Not a chance

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 06:47 PM) Hypothetically though, if the Sox signed one of the 3 elite outfielders, Parra, and found a way to get rid of Avi, what would happen to J.B. Shuck? I don't know about you guys, but I thought he was very good 4th outfielder/pinch hitter last year. They are not signing two $10 million plus outfielders

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 06:38 PM) A little nervous with Gordon coming off an injury that caused him to miss significant time and his age of 32. Would prefer Upton or Cespedes for the offensive impact, BUT if you could get Gordon on a reduced price and then have some $$ to go after either a 2nd outfielder like Parra or Jackson, and then have some $$ left for a RHP, then you might have something... I think you overestimate how much money they would have left.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 06:55 PM) It'd be nice to see Gordon go to KC and then Upton or Cespedes can come to the Sox right afterwards. Heck no, be nice to see Gordon go to Giants or Cardinals or Orioles....KC won't be a player for Upton/Cespedes

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Dec 21, 2015 -> 05:06 PM) Wouldn't signing him require giving up a draft pick? Sox have already claimed supposedly that they aren't going after anybody that requires giving up a pick. We'll see. Mark Even Buster Olney said that's not a deal-breaker for the Sox

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 20, 2015 -> 06:29 PM) Bears look awful so far. Really not a bad thing at this point though as we've seen enough to know this staff will have things headed in the right direction if they upgrade the talent level and every loss now is huge for draft position. Yep, no reason to hope they win the rest of the way. Just make sure no major injuries.

Offensive line has imploded the last two games
