    To me, this tells me they are not going for a 2nd high end guy.   Maybe another swing man,  but nothing else. 

    Giollito

    Lopez

    Kopech

    Cease

    Gonzales 

    That will be the opening day rotation and maybe a swing guy for Kopech if he's not ready. 

     

    For about the 1,000th time, Kopech is starting in AAA.

    Yeah, amazing what statistics can do to change a persons mind.

    Didn't like the signing at all when I read it, but then dug into Gio and realized that my opinion of his performance the past two years was wrong and misguided.

    He's not going to get you deep into games, but he still gets some swings and misses and is still a productive big league arm.

    He's also a ground ball machine and has really limited homers.  He is a good fit for the Cell.

    I just turned to my coworker (who also reads the boards) and said, "Countdown to Moan4Yoan chiming in with something negative...3, 2, 1..."

    Then I hit refresh and sure enough!  Thanks for giving us a good laugh, you miserable human being.

    Just block him.  If people stop responding to the troll, maybe he'll stop trolling.

    Announced Cole to Yankees 2 days before it leaked to the big guys. He got bumgarners money and years right, just not team (he said twins).

     

    and thats all ive looked down his page for so far. There more.

    Just out of curiosity - how did you "speak" with this guy?

    I think he probably means Matthew Thompson, the Sox 2019 2nd rounder. But if Sheets and Thompson is all it takes for Lindor, sign me the hell up.

    He probably means Matthew Thompson, last years 2nd round pick. He’s a 19 yr. old starter.

    Ahhh yes, that makes a little more sense.  But yah, the Sox aren't trading for Lindor.

    Guys, I had a chance to chat with the guy.. he has had some scoops. Say im crazy but I figured it was worth tweeting about.

    We had webutt and katyperrysbootyhole leak the quintana trade, so we can rule out random twitter accounts especially ones who have had some ACTUAL legit scoops.

    If hes wrong and trolling, ive been fooled and quite publically at this point but its not something bad to look at the history of his tweets and think its actually possible.

    Imagine an infield of Yoyo, timmy, grandal, lindor and abreu. Would be nasty. Why would we keep madrigal if we had Lindor? Plus mentions of gavin sheets and thompson in the trade package too.

    Call me a fool or whatever but anything is possible now. Seriously.

    Why would the Indians trade Lindor to the White Sox?  And why would the Indians have interest in a guy (Thompson) they could have just taken in the R5 draft?

    Who is the guy? 

    @keikers43 is the twitter handle.

    Believe it is the poster @Kpet1010.

    Can't post twitter links atm, but basically said he got good info a trade is coming within 72 hours and its a big one.  He admited it could be nothing, but he trusts his source. Seems to indicate in later tweets that it may be tied to the stinkybob twitter rumor about the Sox and Lindor.  

    Probably nothing (especially if he's actually talking about Lindor), but just responding to the question.

    This is someone I could envision the White Sox targeting. I would not mind taking a flyer on Yoenis to split time between RF/DH:

     
    One interesting effect of Yoenis Céspedes' contract restructuring: the Mets have had teams reach out the past week regarding his availability in trades, according to a source. Nothing close or imminent or even all that likely, but some initial conversations have taken place.

    I haven't read a ton about his restructure, but didn't basically all/most of his $29M guarantee just become performance bonuses?  Why would anyone want to acquire Cespedes because even if he somehow performs, you're going to be paying out your nose for it.  I doubt the Mets would cover all that upside - if they're gonna pay for it, I'm sure they're rather be the recipients of the good play.

    You see him struggling overall?  Or just lacking in the power department during his first year?

    Not really struggling, I just don't really think we'll see him hit 25+ homers.  I think 15-18 range. 

    Something like .275/.315/.450 sounds about right for his rookie year.  Hope he walks a little more than he's shown in the minors.  But plugging that in CF with + defense is such a huge step in the right direction.  

    I definitely think he'll put up better slash lines as he matures, but hitting mlb pitching is really hard.

    There has been a lot said here  about Castellanos not being a decent RF in terms of  his D, I wonder how Mazara will do for us in RF. Our fans tend to be pretty unforgiving  when a player makes a few errors or misplays.

    Mazara is a considerably better defender than Castellanos.  Castellanos is a poor defender.  Mazara is merely average.
