QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 10:41 AM) Why would the Nats offer Upton only 3 years, but offer Cespedes more? Putting 2 and 2 together, there seems to be a lot of BS going on. Exactly...that doesnt sound right

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 10:36 AM) If Cespedes signs elsewhere, how quickly to Fowler and Jackson sign? I would imagine pretty quickly, and one should end up with the Sox. Why? We're all set in the OF.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 10:34 AM) In all honesty, Hahn's job should be on the line this season It absolutely should be

Seems like they are the only ones who have made an offer so far

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 10:17 AM) If he signs with the Nats, which fanbase will react worse, Sox or Mets? Mets easily

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 10:12 AM) 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. It'll be warranted if they continue to sit on their hands until the season starts. This looks like a half finished product and will probably perform like one.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 10:08 AM) Which, while true, is silly. The meatheads will be out in full force embarrassing themselves. I'm going to Soxfest. I hope it doesn't turn into what it could turn into. I am not an autograph guy, I just go to the seminars. I really enjoyed all the fluff last year. Its the time of year you really could use some. All the idiots who complain about not being able to sit right behind the dugout after purchasing a $5 upper deck seat calling people cheap is a trip. Yep agreed. Look if they dont upgrade they deserve every little bit of criticism that comes there way. Just you cant count on meatheads to only use words or to be calm.

Seriously if they dont sign him...maybe Rick Hahn and Robin should stay away from Soxfest for their own safety. They are going to get absolutely crucified by fans there.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 11:25 PM) When about 95 percent of the teams are reluctant to give a player a long term deal, there is probably a reason for it. Ok let's not go too overboard with the hyperbole here.

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 11:06 PM) Nats made a offer to cespedes I bet its in the 5 year range. Thank you captain useless info. You may resume your regular duties of being negative nancy.

Please let this end soon.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 08:08 PM) Yea those 6.5 WAR players suck. When do we go after the 8+ WAR guys ? We have Avi Garcia...why would we need a guy like Mike Trout?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 05:00 PM) I didn't say it, so I can't elaborate. It is ambiguous though. Nor do the Sox beats or the Angels. Exactly...like I was saying...if you listened to any of the beat writers this offseason especially for us you would think we didnt have a chance to sign/trade for anybody.

Most of the Mets beat writers dont expect it to be them that's for sure.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 04:19 PM) Brian Bilek ‏@ChiSoxraBBit 25s25 seconds ago Well I heard back from someone regarding Cespedes and the #WhiteSox are definitely still working on signing him. (1/2) Brian Bilek ‏@ChiSoxraBBit 14s On Cespedes "Talks this week have been dramatic and the terms have been very creative. As of now, options still a sticking point." #WhiteSox

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 01:48 PM) My birthday is Friday. Hope I get this as an early gift Happy early Birthday!

Dont know if this has been posted. Adam Rubin ‏@AdamRubinESPN 1h1 hour ago Autotweet. Not my headline. Not my article. I'll stick with unlikely if the thesis is the Mets need to give five years and two opt-outs. https://twitter.com/AdamRubinESPN He was referring to that Mets article from ESPN that was posted on here earlier just fyi.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 11:16 AM) If the Sox do sign Cespedes, I want it to be in the next ~25 minutes so my friend and I can celebrate in study hall together. Ah Study Hall...the best part of High School. Good times.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 11:09 AM) I have eyes too. If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes

QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 11:04 AM) 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. As fathom showed it probably means keep an eye out. I'm a kid and I still dont understand what half of the texts I get mean.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 11:01 AM) Plz share for those of us not on twitter. It's just a couple pictures of Eyes. I dont know if that's supposed to mean confused or keep an eye out.

He's good at retweeting other people. I doubt it's true.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 10:55 AM) Source: #WhiteSox, Yoenis Cespedes Finalizing 4-Year Deal with 1 year option and opt-out after 2nd year. https://mobile.twitter.com/JakeBauer21/stat...852481816416256 Please stop. Do we have to post every little piece of garbage by some random on here?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 10:54 AM) The Nationals need a CF. I don't think Cespedes is a CF. Would they move Harper to CF? Would they want to do that? Jayson Werth is a free agent in 2 years. Maybe they move him

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 10:49 AM) That would be a bold move... Hey they need a coach
