I got Pants one time back in grammar school.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 10:31 AM) Cespedes' agent just followed the Nationals on Twitter Its over. Seriously.

QUOTE (spiderman @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 10:18 AM) If the only teams remaining in these discussions are only with the White Sox and Mets, and the Mets are not going beyond 1 year, why would the White Sox need to go from 3 to 4 years. The only reason I can think is if they believe Cespedes will take the Mets offer over the White Sox. Have any other teams been linked to Cespedes? Is Washington a serious player? The Nats are the front runner according to reports this morning.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 10:14 AM) And it should be. This team is stuck in the middle & makes two makes that tells fans they are going for it & then won't pony up for a game changer like Cespedes. Makes no real sense. If they dont sign Cespedes I would think its because he received a bigger deal than even Upton got. The Sox just misjudged the market and thought these guys were going to have less teams that needed them along with coming down to their price range. It was terrible judgement.

I think the really depressing part of it is the fact that from the start the Sox were widely considered to be one of the favorites to land one of the big 3. The fans put a lot of stock in that and followed these stories extremely closely just to wind up with none of them in the end. It may wind up being a HUGE PR hit on the Sox whether its warranted or not.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 09:29 AM) Yeah Mully has just been upset with the team the past few years to the point where he's more pessimistic about the team. Same with Goff. I don't know if either Boers or Bernstein are/were Sox fans before. I thought Goff was always a Cub fan.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 09:24 AM) Mully is actually a huge Sox fan. I know which is why it was making me mad to. LOL Its like now that the Score is the Cubs network we are going to have to deal with happy joy Cub talk all day even by our resident Sox fans that are on the Score. Of course I could just not listen.

What was pissing me off this morning was the negative talk on the radio with Mully and Hanley. It all stemmed from what Dave Cameron from fangraphs said about the Sox next year. He said that the Sox are pretty much a bad team no matter what they do with Cesepedes because the back end of the rotation "sucks", they have no shortstop and that the lower end of their roster is terrible. While he may be correct the radio guys were jumping on it and riding into their Cubs land joy. The Cubs are great at everything and the Sox are terrible and hopeless with everything.

I used to enjoy the off season talk. But this is just ridiculous.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 03:56 PM) Has anyone in the Chicago media confirmed the White Sox are interested in Cespedes? Levine

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 12:05 PM) Are you implying Sox fans would read too much into something? Nah, would never happen. rabbit is implying that with the knowledge that they have never been non responsive to him before. I would assume.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 12:03 PM) This is just all very bad, I need to actually get s*** done at work today. LMAO I am totally in the same boat.

In terms of rabbit. You would think his sources would talk if they didnt think they were going to sign him. If they know they are close to signing him is when they might want to keep a tight lip about things with them being that close.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 11:48 AM) many thanks, LOL

QUOTE (GoGoSox2k2 @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 11:48 AM) Bucket are you out there any where??? He is busy staring at random people apparently.

QUOTE (Sockin @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 11:18 AM) Ok, something is officially up. Brian Bilek ‏@ChiSoxraBBit To those asking: I can't even get a respond to a text or email. Take that how you want. #WhiteSox How are you taking that dude? Because that can easily go either way. LOL

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 11:07 AM) I want something to happen NOW. Eyes Mike. Eyes.......

QUOTE (Baron @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 11:02 AM) It's just a couple pictures of Eyes. I dont know if that's supposed to mean confused or keep an eye out. I have no idea what eyes would mean. I am too old at the ripe age of 33 to know what eyes mean to the kids these days.

I don't think the Mets have the money to get it done. He is using the Mets and the Nationals to drive up the price for the Sox and maybe someone else comes into the fold last minute on a gut move to sign him.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 10:39 AM) And I sure hope they don't sign Desmond. Me neither. Big money for someone who will be in best case scenario a slightly better than average OF.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 10:00 AM) 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. Would be nice to end this saga. Even if he signs somewhere else it would still be nice to have this over with. But then we will be on Fowler or Colorado OF watch.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 19, 2016 -> 09:28 PM) I have a feeling that something will happen soon. You can't green it Mike! You gotta go all out if your gonna do it! LOL

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 19, 2016 -> 09:24 PM) Seems like Blackmon is most likely to be traded http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/01/rock...rson-trade.html I am leaning towards wanting this dude over any options but the Sox have no assets left however. Hahn can't trade the entire top half of the farm.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Jan 19, 2016 -> 08:18 PM) Give Imrem a break, he's like 90 years old. Oh that would explain it. I didn't even pay attention to who wrote it.
