QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 09:36 PM) Cabrera was a disappointment. We can rationalize it later all we want. Market now heating up for Parra, 7-8 teams in on him, Rockies want to deal one of their outfielders for pitching and then stick Parra in his place. Rockies do not need Parra at all. 2 of their top 5 prospects are OFers. Tapia and Dahl should be ready within a year or two.

DT A'Shawn Robinson from Alabama would look so good in a Bears uniform

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 01:58 PM) i just don't know about that. i will always say, when the playoff comes and your team is in it. strange things happen. players will step up in their game, the superstars players maybe will take it to another level, the goal tender can become unbeatable..... or none of this. it is a strange nhl world, the world of playoff time. When it comes to the Hawks, the "just get to the playoffs" is true on so many levels. They've done it twice in the past not being the #1 seed, they can do it again. What teams can honestly beat the Hawks in a 7 game series? LA? Dallas? Definitely no one in the East.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 03:55 PM) Sox don't consider Sanchez a legitimate option at SS. Just a spot start type guy. I figured that, Sanchez seems like he doesn't have the arm for SS everyday.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 01:15 PM) Sign Floyd to a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training and Latos to a 1 year, $1.5 million deal with a crapload of incentives. There you go. That would work if Latos was hurt last year, like Henderson Alvarez. However, he was not, so there is no way he takes that deal. He'll get a year north of 5-6 million with incentives.

QUOTE (striker @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 10:13 AM) Danks, Engel, Spencer Adams and Avasail Garcia for Braun and Peralta. If we didn't get any of the big 3 OFers, I would make the Brewers take on Danks and LaRoche's contracts to off set that Braun money. I also wouldn't include Adams in any deal.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 12:50 PM) Gavin Floyd seems to be a wild card that could happen. Makes sense as well. Good call.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 12:41 PM) I get the feeling that if they add one of the two OF'er (especially Cespedes), I think they'll bring back Alexei on a cheap 1-2 year deal. I could see that as well. 1 year deal with a club option because Anderson is on the cusp. Just took a look at the free agents next year, definitely some interesting options as well once LaRoche and Danks leave.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 12:37 PM) Add in Cespedes/Gordon & I might cry a tear or two. If that happens, I will definitely cry and then buy a ticket plan.

Tim Lincecum Brandon Beachy Edwin Jackson Mat Latos Yaisel Sierra All names I would consider.

Looking back on this trade, I still can't believe that the Sox have Todd Frazier. We could be in for a treat in 2016.

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 11:52 AM) I think the Cardinals are a dark horse for Gordon and I think SF is a dark horse for Cespedes. QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 11:55 AM) Yes, SF is the team that worries me. Agreed on both fronts. Still think Sox get Cespedes though and one of those teams will make a trade for a Colorado OFer.

Hahn at the Bulls game lol

Hahn is at the Bulls game right now! Comcast just showed him on tv. Why isn't he signing Cespedes right now?!?!?!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 06:49 PM) Nevermind, it's WGN Thanks man

What channel is the game on tonight for comcast? I can't find it on the guide.

Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 1m1 minute ago Sources: Industry belief is that the White Sox would prefer to sign an outfielder to a 4- or 5-year deal. May lessen chances for Upton.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 11:52 AM) Where do you guys see this stuff at? Does it get RT'd on your timeline or do you go searching for it? (Serious question) Search Cespedes on Twitter and all tweets regarding him are on there.

Tottenham with a huge last second road victory yesterday.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 03:22 PM) Does anyone really want Latos? Maybe if he's extremely cheap but I think the odds of turning around pitching in the AL for the first time is pretty low. Worth a shot. Upside is huge if you can get him for cheap.

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 03:24 PM) So either get really excited because we're about to land a top 3 prize...or get ready for the 'we tried but' consolation prize. I really hope that 2nd post isn't Merkin thinking we're about to whiff on the big guys... Merkin just now saying that Sox are going after one of the big 3. We've known that for about a month. He knows nothing other than the obvious.

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 3m3 minutes ago Chicago, IL The White Sox are looking for an outfield addition, regardless of whether it's Cespedes, Gordon, or Upton. If they miss on those 3, ... Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 2m2 minutes ago Chicago, IL ... I still think they pursue another outfielder to add to the mix.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 01:43 PM) With all these non-big-name people with "sources" that you see on Twitter/message boards, I pretty much do not buy any of it. You have to ask yourself what purpose would it serve for someone who is on the inside of the knowledge (agent, team, etc.) to feed such information. If you cannot easily answer that question, then you should be extremely skeptical of any "sources." No offense to bucket or rabbit, but why would anyone give these guys inside info for no apparent benefit? Seems fishy. Well Rosenthal said on MLB Network this morning that he expects the Sox to sign Gordon or Cespedes.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 01:32 PM) raBBit notes that Cespedes is rumored to be looking for a 6/100M contract. If true it shows how much the prices have come down since Cespedes was rumored to be looking for 6/140-150M. The 6/100M could be why the Sox are in talks with Cespedes. For that price or close to it, I'll climb aboard the Cespedes train. QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 01:36 PM) That's not a report from me but a report from New York. Wonder if Cespedes could be had at 5 years and 90 million

QUOTE (daggins @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 01:05 PM) Merkin doesn't think the Sox go over 100MM for an OF. That lines up with Gordon more than Yo. I think we can banish Upton from the convo. Unless you get Cespedes on a 4 year deal with an option maybe. 4 years 80-85 million I think could land Cespedes.
