Drama finally over Mets resigned Yoenis Cespedes

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 12:05 AM) The Nationals have as much payroll flexibility as any team that could pursue Cespedes. Their payroll is about $30 million less than it was at season’s end. Adding a contract worth more than $20 million annually — Upton got $22.125 — could still leave them with a comparable or smaller payroll than they had last October. Plus, Cespedes did not reject a qualifying offer from the Mets, and therefore will not cost the team that signs him a draft pick. Few natural fits for Cespedes remain. The strong free agent outfield market slogged along, but suddenly,when Upton signed, Cespedes became the last man standing. The Tigers seemed like a fit — until they signed Upton. The Angels and their sputtering offense could have used his help, but reportedly are not pursuing him, according to MLB.com. The president of the unpredictable Marlins, David Samson, told reporters his team has “no interest” in signing the Cuban star. Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson said Tuesday the team is still talking to Cespedes’s agent, but all indications are New York would be hesitant to give a long-term deal, too. Reports have linked the Astros to Cespedes. As spring training nears and his options dwindle, perhaps Cespedes will choose a previously unanticipated home. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/nationa...s-end-up-in-dc/ https://twitter.com/Nationals/status/689878232909221888

I wouldn't believe those reports about the Braves. Atlanta is rebuilding.

Makes sense, O's made offer to Cespedes http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/01/orio...s-cespedes.html

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 27, 2015 -> 10:54 AM) Go Bucs today. Losing these last two can make a huge difference in draft position for the Bears. Currently 10th

According to a report from CBS Sports, there is "no chance" Alex Gordon re-signs with the Royals, based on the organization's present offer. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/160325580/ro...dbpr=5768707450

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 23, 2015 -> 09:26 AM) I pointed this out a couple of months ago. People were so upset about the 14 starts LaRoche made against lefties, yet the problem the Sox had with lefties is hardly anyone hit them, and Abreu's OPS was down over .400 vs them. You would have to think that should bounce back a bit. 50 at bats last year? Small sample size. He has power vs lefties which is what sox need.

Let's get this guy. http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2015/12/17/104...ee-agent-rumors

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 14, 2015 -> 04:17 PM) They may have offered the money but it got pulled off the table for some reason. O's don't have enough for Parra and Davis, already gave Davis a deadline.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Dec 14, 2015 -> 04:03 PM) +1. Hope you are right. I'd be good with Upton or Cespedes. But I know Cespedes wants and will probably get a big payday

Secondary still on vacation I see

Where does this leave Cespedes,Upton, Gordon?
