QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 25, 2015 -> 12:34 AM) Rabbit has good sources. does he better then dan hayes or sox beat reporters.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 25, 2015 -> 12:32 AM) It's fluid. Salary is only one factor. Tough to call an order of preference just yet. They really like Gordon though... rabbit said its gordon cespedes upton in that order.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 25, 2015 -> 12:13 AM) Alexei is still on the radar but not a fit as of now. He's still looking multi-year. Sox looking pillow at SS. No way to read the Gordon camp as of now. Talks have been hot & cold but substantiating. Thanks for your info for sure they give gordon offer mondayand what about cespedes.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 25, 2015 -> 12:02 AM) Up to Alex and Casey. It's been an intense week at the Cell for sure. The Gordon talks have been front and center. He'll have an offer on Monday. Is alexei done with the white sox and I heard Gordon signing will drag into Jan.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 11:28 PM) Looks like that Nelson guy will end up being wrong what did he say and honestly there so many fake people on twitter its hard to believe people on there.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 11:14 PM) @SSS_joshnelson Did he say anything about a gordon and does rabbit got connections to white sox.

I trust rabbit more then josh nelson.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 10:55 PM) Seems like that Nelson guy is just spitballing. He sees the Nightengale tweet & all of the sudden speculates that they could sign someone tonight. I wouldn't get my hopes up. Whats nelson twitter

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 10:09 PM) Man, this has been torture. He should be signing shortly after xmas.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 06:56 PM) If the Sox sign one of the big three its likely they play LF, Melky goes to DH, LaRoche becomes a bench bat and we see some sort of platoon with Avi/Shuck in RF. Far from an optimal scenario, IMHO. Colorado has no reason to be interested in LaRoche. CarGo is now worth his contract thanks to Heyward and once the big three sign he will have surplus value so CarGo is no longer a salary dump so trying to use LaRoche in a trade is a moot point to be honest. Colorado will get decent players in a trade for CarGo. Depending on what CarGo will cost he could be a better option than signing a player to a huge FA contract. CarGo would solve the RF problem, provides a left handed middle of the order power bat, is cheaper than the free agents and comes with two years of control like Frazier/Lawrie. Sure it would cost the Sox minor league depth but that depth could be replaced with the Sox having three picks in the first two rounds in June's draft which is supposed to have a good amount of talent. Again, this all depends on Colorado's trade demand's which at this point only Colorado knows those demands. With the plethora of outfield talent available in FA and the trade market, I'm think Colorado's demands should not be too high, or at least I hope not but ya never know. The Sox are already at their '15 payroll. It's one thing to hope they scrounge up the money for one FA but two ain't happening. Then RF going be huge hole.

Why trade Laroche when Jose Abreu has nagging legs injuries he needs be the DH more.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 06:17 PM) Yes, I'll gladly not worry about the Sox winding up with him for some reason anymore. We might get Ian Desmond for SS instead.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 05:55 PM) Cespedes in LF, Melky to DH and Avi/Shuck in RF. One of the problems I have with signing any of Upton/Cespedes/Gordon is they are all left Fielders and their best defense played is LF. All are upgrades over Melky in LF but none help the RF which is also a problem. Unless the Sox put Shuck in RF more often since he does play solid RF defense. Do we sign Parra for RF.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 05:48 PM) Cespedes only wants to play LF. whats the point of getting him then whos plays RF for us

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 05:45 PM) So then the team would have 4 LF's? Cespedes goes to RF.

QUOTE (black jack @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 05:33 PM) My preference is Gordon to CWS and Cespedes to CWS. I doubt it we get both guys jerry doesn't wanna spend that much money.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 05:22 PM) I was not being entirely serious. Even though the unwillingness by teams to jump into big money contracts may make the big money contract a viable way to build a team again. Prices are going down. Is A Gordon cost 4 years $75 million or more?

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 05:14 PM) I'm guessing Cespedes gets a deal somewhere in the 6 year/$125 million range. I would be very happy if that happened. Let's hope for the best. So Justin Upton gets higher deal then Cespedes.

No way White Sox sign Gordon and Cespedes.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 05:06 PM) Cespedes to CHI & Gordon to KC for sure. Whats Cespedes price 6 years $150 million and do you see the sox paying that.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 10:23 AM) All I want for Christmas is an Alex Gordon White Sox jersey (unless Santa wants to really nice and deliver a Mike Trout or Bryce Harper White Sox jersey!) I want Alex Gordon jersey for christmas too man.

QUOTE (Real @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 12:15 AM) my guess is next week or after new years Maybe Alex Gordon signs with the White Sox today.

When will these guys sign?

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 01:35 PM) Yes he does have a lot of money. That doesn't mean that Hahn and KW have free reign to spend what they want. Signing Upton or Cespedes already puts them over their projected budget. They definitely aren't going to break the bank to sign Alexei. Alexei at $5 million not bad.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 01:19 PM) Unless they're waiting to find out if one of Upton or Cespedes signs. If they do there probably isn't money in the budget to sign Alexei. Jerry got alot of money I bet.
