QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 02:40 PM) It's weird. When I moved to Chicago and told people that I came from Ohio, like 1 in 10 would immediately say, "OH! Do you know ?!" we all just think of you all as the people who decide the president

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 02:34 PM) Why does everyone assume that all people from Cuba are friends? Renteria and O-Cab were the only two dudes in MLB from Colombia and they wanted to murder each other. lol

This is very miscellaneous but: the Carlos Quentin for Chris Carter trade ended up in a career WAR thereafter of 9 to 2 (though CC is still going). Funny how big a deal that trade seemed at the time, and how inconsequential it became over time.

Mibelt Rodriguez ‏@MibeltRodriguez 3m3 minutes ago Update: #Mets, #Nationals and #WhiteSox are the finalists to signing OF Yoenis Cespedes. A decision is expected within next 24-48 hours.

Alright, goodnight: Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 2m2 minutes ago The Washington #Nats and Houston #Astros, each who had expressed interest in Justin Upton, may now turn their attention to Yoenis Cespedes.

Mibelt Rodriguez ‏@MibeltRodriguez 1m1 minute ago The #Mets and #WhiteSox are the frontrunner to sign Yoenis Cespedes. He's looking for a minimum 4 years contract (1/2). 0 retweets 0 likes Reply Retweet Like More Mibelt Rodriguez ‏@MibeltRodriguez now @MibeltRodriguez The #Mets haven't make an offer to Cespedes, and they won't go beyond 3 years. The #WhiteSox may go 4 years (2/2) #MLB

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 16, 2016 -> 07:58 AM) He only got 1million per year more. No one pushing the bidding. It was just negotiations and he got nothing. Maybe not pushing the offer to improve greatly, no...but just enough to make this drag out We dont know. I think people assume Cespedes is in deep trouble here, but we dont know what bids he has.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 16, 2016 -> 07:54 AM) It's not a massive win for Boras. He waited on a contract for weeks tried to market him as a OF and got 1 million more AAV. If anything the Orioles let him save face by not dropping the contract. There couldve been some mystery team pushing the bidding a little, we dont know. And now whoever that team is ..could turn their attention to Cespedes. So the Sox arent necessarily out of the woods on this thing yet.

From homewood flossmoor apparently

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 03:11 PM) Kinda funny that avi has had one full season and now he's considered a horrible bust. We need one fully determined tool from him..by this point.. and we have zero.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 01:27 PM) He said the Sox should be in on Cespedes until the very end. Upton isn't happening. To me, it sounds like they are in on Cespedes. If they doesn't pan out, they can sign Fowler for cheaper and still upgrade the team. Brian Bilek ‏@ChiSoxraBBit 27s28 seconds ago Brian Bilek Retweeted Dayton Cripe There is a chance contingent on Yo accepting #WhiteSox terms. His market is still slow.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 01:22 PM) I wonder is that is just his opinion or confirmed from his inside source. Brian Bilek ‏@ChiSoxraBBit 1m1 minute ago #WhiteSox are not "out" on Cespedes. Team is slow playing the market and Upton will be playing somewhere other than Chicago in '16. Brian Bilek ‏@ChiSoxraBBit 5m5 minutes ago Obviously these situations are fluid and can change on a dime but at this point I would lead you to remove Upton from your focus. #WhiteSox Brian Bilek ‏@ChiSoxraBBit 8m8 minutes ago #WhiteSox, like most teams involved, are slowplaying market but Dexter Fowler is far more likely than Justin Upton at this point. Brian Bilek ‏@ChiSoxraBBit 8m8 minutes ago If you're a #WhiteSox fan saying "When are the Sox going to get Upton/Cespedes?" Focus your attention elsewhere.

raBBit on twitter just now says Fowler has moved into most likely, with Cespedes and Upton now being more difficult possibilities. Seems to really dismiss Upton now.

George Ofman ‏@georgeofman 25s25 seconds ago Chicago, IL Either Cespedes or Upton could sign for one or two years. Sox more interested in Cespedes.

From a fangraphs chat: 12:33 Tom: Matt Adams and Marco Gonzales enough for Cargo to the Cards? 12:34 Dave Cameron: Should be, yes. CarGo’s not that valuable a trade chip.

But what about the children of Johnny Red Kerr: George Ofman ‏@georgeofman 9m9 minutes ago Chicago, IL Word is the Sox might go to four years on either Cespedes or Upton. The latter is intrigued with the south side.

I know we've seen this tweet before, but reread it. It now reads as (a few days ago) agents just begging for some teams to start getting in this thing. And putting it out there in hopes of forcing that to happen. If Nightengale is being used in this way all throughout, it is something that bodes well for Chicago. Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale Jan 6 The outfield market now will start moving, agents believe, starting with Yoenis Cespedes and Justin Upton.
