You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy - in times of grey.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 1, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) How do you know that for sure unless you work in the Sox FO? I'm hoping you're right, but I'm not banking on it. It's one thing to tell an agent - we're not willing to do 5 years... It's an entirely different thing to say that and then back it up with a release through press that you're only wanting a 3 year deal. Makes said agent more willing to come back and meet in the middle. Just standard business, folks.

Probably willing to go to 4 years on Gordon but he is asking for 5. Probably willing to go to 5 years for Cespedes but he is asking for 6. So they state through the press they're only wiling to go to 3... It's a negotiation tactic, me thinks.

Why are you all talking about implants and braces?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 01:14 PM) If paying Mat Latos $10-12 million is a market inefficiency, the White Sox are going to need a ton more revenue. Whom did this horrible horrible egregious offense?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 09:05 AM) It make come as a shock, but yes. How does one gain access to this life beyond baseball rumors that you speak of?

It seems just like yesterday that this thread was at 18 pages. Geez. Two days of my life - poof. Gone.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 02:52 PM) Man... After last night I really thought this might have wrapped up today, especially because it's a Wednesday. But today has been boring, this really has been a weird market. This really may go another week or so. Productivity is already at zero. Gurrrrrr.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 02:31 PM) I hope he makes it also. Can I get in? Please.

Certainly one of the more interesting to develop off seasons in recent memory. Leads to a lot of blah blah blah and poop and mention of Claudia schiffers "cat".

Anyone call JZ yet? Let's get the bloods to kidnap him and condition a release based upon Cespedes signing with us for $1.90 and a side of fries.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 09:05 PM) It's says nothing new. Repeats the White Sox and O's are in the hunt for Cespedes. The Spanish wasn't giving me trouble - just the frequency of the damned post. Bots.

Twitter says this about 50 times in the last 30 seconds... Medias Blancas y Orioles, en lucha por Céspedes dlvr.it/D7nXvb

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 08:29 PM) Oh me too as soon as I go to bed it'll happen Of course it happens that this info is leaked at just about the exact moment I posted in the Gordon thread that I was sold on him beyond Yo. Edit: I am a nerd.

Oh good god, you expect me to sleep with this s*** looming? I've wanted Cespedes since he defected.

The Patrick Howard guy keeps killing his "cred"

Thy countdown hath begun.

Surprised to have voted for him but - Gordon. I was on the Cespedes train but after a month of blah analysis... I've switched sides.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 12:50 PM) Has anyone heard anything about the Sox agreeing to terms with Mat Latos? Our old buddy "Jimbo's Drinker" (Dan) just tweeted it and then deleted it a few minutes later. He definitely has some good contacts and used to work for the White Sox, so I imagine there might be some truth to it. Muy interestingo

Hurray for thread hopping.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 08:14 AM) just a personal attack. Kumquat squash peanut butter pie all over your house - you irrelevant pop star, you!

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 08:31 PM) Thank you sir. Really, I'm just middle aged and extremely young at heart. Too many village idiots in a town and it's not a very appealing place to be. There shall only be one regularly retarded drooling fool around these corners... And I shall always wear the dunce cap with pride. To infanity, and beyond.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 07:24 PM) Whoa, thanks for the young comment. I don't feel so old now. Looks at wifey and says " hurry honey, fetches me Juss fer Men! Be gone grey whiskas!" You may be an old man but you are young in the way. Let's stop hijacking this thread and allow the crickets to resume. Deal?

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 06:40 PM) Awe shucks Mike, hopefully I can continue to live up to your extremely low expectations. I can only hope that you have better taste when it comes to love than you do Sox fans. Seriously though, I do enjoy talking Baseball with you and I especially respect and appreciate the way you come across when you do not agree with something I say. You are my Ferris Bueller here on SoxTalk, a righteous dude. Boston has the Kung Fu Panda and SoxTalk has the Kung Fu raBBit! And to you sir, I say good BLAH! ( Wilmer Valderrama style!) You've got to be quick, subtle, and unexpected in your wit young ninja grasshopper. The path of the way is yours.
