QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 29, 2016 -> 06:47 PM) Shouldn't be if he can't play SS I think the thought behind it is his arm is a bit weak to be the starting SS, how many games will he get at short stop as utility guy? 10 max? Should be servicable there.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 10:21 AM) Wait, suspended? Why? For...errr missing the ASG.

I'm wondering what would it take to bring in one of the Rockies OF, not CarGO but either Dickerson or Blackmon.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 19, 2016 -> 07:33 PM) Don't go past 3 years. Stay strong. Why not 4 year 88 mil, with two opt out years?

I voted Fowler before the Upton signing with Tigers. It will be Cespedes. book it.

I mean fits the need, Cuban connection, probably wont require superstar like contract.

Cuban National Team star RF

Because the number of Alexei's on the team must remain at 1. Dont shoot the messenger.

Welcome home Jason!

Any chance Sox games air on WGN America? Also havent seen this mentioned but MLB.TV is rumored to have a significantly cheaper, "follow your team" package for all the streamers out there.

The #SFGiants never considered long term deal with Cespedes or Upton before turning to Span - Nightengale

Can't see how this deal doesn't help the Sox, years and money.

Why are the Sox not willing to go past the rumored 3 year deal?

Bulls quietly putting a nice streak and offense as potent as we have seen it, Fred Hoiberg finally payin off?

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 10:15 AM) Gordon has been saying he wanted to stay in KC so is this really a surprise? Who's surprised?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 10:03 AM) If that is accurate, it sounds like they really upped their initial offer, which the best news of all as it means they have less chance to maintain their core going forward. #missionaccomplished Confirmed. Heyman says Gordon was looking for 20mil AAV so took a small "hometown" discount to stay with KC.

Morosi says with Gordon off the board market for both Cespedes and Upton more defined. Mentions SF interested in both. Morosi tweeting Orioles staying in contact with Upton if they dont re-sign Chris Davis.

4 years 72 mil.

if Gordon signs for 4year/70mil, where does that price Cespedes?

@NickyMitch93 I was told #WhiteSox are one of the teams with an offer out to Fister... No word on the favorite mulling over offers from many teams

He started off so slow (April May) along with everyone else that by June, half the posters lined up by the clubhouse to drive him to the airport themselves. It's hard to come out of that kind of start even if his second half was pretty good. I expect him to have a productive 2015 in the number 2 hole.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 06:48 PM) Saying he believes they'll sign 1 & saying they aren't close isn't exactly contradicting... QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 06:50 PM) That's not contradicting... QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 07:30 PM) Lol wut? Agreed, just dont see it happening before New Years

So Nightengale on MLB Network said he believes Sox land one, then he tweets not close to deal with anyone. Ok. See you next year folks.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 06:19 PM) Bob Nightengale just said on MLB Tonight that the White Sox have had "extensive talks" with each of the 3 top OF'ers. Says he expects them to land one & named Cespedes a decent amount in that conversation. He said, they have been "sitting back" waiting for the prices to drop. Said 2-3 times that he expects a few of these guys to settle for 2-3 years deals but specifically named Upton as a guy that may hold out the longest. Just saw that, looks like it's a waiting game because the market is really not in favor of the players. I bet you Sox have offers made and the OFs are trying to see if someone comes in with a higher offer.
