QUOTE (Dunt @ Jan 4, 2016 -> 10:44 AM) What? Seems like he was trying to answer a fan about something and mistakenly tweeted out something that looks like reporting. Probably nothing to see here...unless he just left some words out

Cryptic tweet from an insider, apparently a typo Jim Bowden ‏@JimBowden_ESPN 1m1 minute ago Pay Gordon & Angels sign Kendrick and Upton

Nightengale will be on 670 this morning, 9:20

Nightengale is reliable, though of course he could be fed something with purpose just like anyone else. Also it sounds like the # of buyers right now is pretty bad. You have to evaluate this with that info at the forefront of everything. This has the feel of a report that we'd get before (1) a signing (2) us getting out of the mix

dominoes all lined up behind this... Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 2m2 minutes ago Gerardo Parra waiting for more of top-tier outfielders to sign; Royals, Nationals, Giants, Angels have varying levels of interest in Parra.

Kazmir is better than Danks, but I am kind of surprised to see that their 2015 years didnt differ tons.

Oh and Latos.

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 22s22 seconds ago Florida, USA chisox are at least weighing yoenis cespedes & alex gordon to fill an outfield spot @Ken_Rosenthal & @JesseSanchezMLB on it

QUOTE (Sockin @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 08:59 PM) More smoke, second person claiming Cespedes will sign with the Sox. @rickslat123 Multiple sources: Yoenis Cespedes @ynscspds has told White Sox he will sign with them. Deal worth north of 110 million. #mlb https://twitter.com/rickslat123/status/682015844033937408 This is an online liar. Longtime fraud

For what it's worth, Dan Hayes doesnt think we'll do much: Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 4h4 hours ago @mprotolipac24 I don't think they're doing anything Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 4h4 hours ago @mprotolipac24 I don't think it's happening. But again never ruling anything out with them.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 23, 2015 -> 03:40 PM) That is too much for Gordon IMO. Unrealistic to pay Gordon the annual value of Melky, though. Gordon is far better and has been consistent for so long.

He murdered MiLB in his time there.

QUOTE (bruni @ Dec 18, 2015 -> 12:36 PM) Now we wait for the other shoe to drop: the trade of Robertson. Trading Robertson shed's $36 million in future commitments and gives Hahn an extra $10.1 million this year alone (Robertson $11M - Jones $.9M) from his closer role. Take the $10.1 and use it to put on a down payment for the 1st year of a stud OF like Upton or Cespedes and then back load the contract with the extra $27.5 M saved from the expiring contracts of Danks and LaRoche. Better yet, if you can trade Robertson for a young cost controlled OF w upside (think Soler type) and remove the financial burden and then take the money saved for another FA OF then you solve for both corners and move Cabrera to DH and dump LaRoche on anyone that will have him while even paying 80% or so of his remaining $13M. Make it happen Rick! Per Dan Hayes a Robertson salary dump is a 'very very small' chance.

Is Jesse Crain still in the org?

Jerry Crasnick ‏@jcrasnick 16s16 seconds ago Nate Jones has agreed to 3-yr, $8M guaranteed contract with #WhiteSox, sources say. Options included beyond that.

Dakota Schmidt ‏@Dakota_Schmidt 51s51 seconds ago So what exactly are the Brewers doing about the 1st base situation? Because trading Jason Rogers doesn't exactly help.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 02:26 PM) So what did they do? Traded a OF who plays impeccable D and hit nearly .900 OPS. Brilliant! I will miss Trayce - but that was not a big sample size. The MiLB numbers suggest heavy heavy regression from 900 OPS. Maybe throw a third heavy on there.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:10 PM) If Montas is being traded I doubt seriously it's Ethier or any other high price vet. Money being sent along though is an x factor.

Ben Carsley ‏@BenCarsley 1m1 minute ago Mau and Montas for Craig and Ethier. Big win for the Dodgers. Jacob May?

https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/677172572815921152 Jeff PassanVerified account ‏@JeffPassan Source: Yasiel Puig is NOT going to Chicago in the trade between the Dodgers and White Sox.

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:03 PM) Maybe it stems from the fact that Puig and Abreu are hanging out recently in Cuba. Maybe Abreu wants Puig on the team. Wasnt a storyline last year that they are a little frosty w/ each other? Plus Puig has murky history to say the least

I bumped this thread earlier this morning. Clearly everyone here now has to respect my sources, right? I went back 7 pages for it too
