Jose Abreu

7-5 final

PS- if we get Cespedes, someone should join Soxtalk with the username "Yoenis Cespedes". It sure worked with Abreu.

Random fact: Yoenis Cespedes is the only person with the last name 'Cespedes' to play in the Majors, despite there being 19 people with the last name 'Cespedes' to play in the minors.

I prefer Cespedes but his streakiness concerns me. I hope he wouldn't put up 2013-like numbers for us.

QUOTE (Saufley @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 09:00 PM) I don't believe this guy. Again, this is the guy who claims to be Tim Anderson's best friend.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 08:31 PM) That guy is also saying the Angels offered Cespedes $125 million. Does he have any credibility? I believe so. Can anyone else verify?

@barstoolWSD No bulls***, I have it on very good authority that the White Sox and Yo are "close" This guy actually has some credibility.

QUOTE (Sockin @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 07:59 PM) More smoke, second person claiming Cespedes will sign with the Sox. @rickslat123 Multiple sources: Yoenis Cespedes @ynscspds has told White Sox he will sign with them. Deal worth north of 110 million. #mlb https://twitter.com/rickslat123/status/682015844033937408 Why do people still quote this guy? He's the one who claimed to be Tim Anderson's best friend.

I know there was an Upton/Cespedes poll, but now it seems as if we're not getting Upton.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 03:22 PM) So is Hoiberg a great coach or not? Haven't watched the Bulls that closely. Is he a genius? Or do Bulls fans have concern? Please fill me in on the verdict on Fred after this many games. A little too early to evaluate. Certainly wouldn't call him great or a genius. I'm concerned with our lack of consistent offensive production.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 04:33 PM) Every time those fake accounts start saying the same thing, the signing usually happens. lol. It's so weird but it's a trend I've noticed lately. I'd guess it's because they usually tweet realistic "signings" based on current rumors

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 11:22 AM) I can't see who else would offer him any where near that number. The Yankees have Texeira The Dodgers have AGonz The Cubs have Rizzo The Tigers have Miguel Texas has Prince The Angels have Pujols The Red Sox have Ortiz, and then probably Hanley. The Giants have Belt, and no cash left. The Nationals have Zimmerman Philly is still stuck with Howard, and they are rebuilding The Blue Jays have Encarnacion Maybe the Astros if they have given up on Singleton? Well, he can DH for an AL team. I do see the Astros as a fit.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 10:04 AM) I don't think justifying anything with the prequels counts. Why not though? Didn't Lucas write all 6 together?

Don't hate on Sbarro. That place is legit.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 10:49 AM) It's terrifying to me that Cespedes might end up on the Sox. Dude has regret written all over him. I feel that way about Gordon as well. Both have potential to perform below expectations here

"So not Cespedes?" Brian Bilek ‏@ChiSoxraBBit 29m29 minutes ago Not necessarily. Talks are most advanced with Gordon at this point.

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 09:26 AM) It used to be so much fun watching Rose play. But everytime I turn on the TV now he's either standing on the side watching the the play, throwing off ugly shots, or turning the ball over off sloppiest plays. Unless you've watched his last two games, where he has been more like this.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 01:07 AM) I went to the game tonight. After Snell missed the dunk on the break-away in the third, I don't think he missed a single shot. I think this was probably the best NBA game he's played so far. I'd say his games against Sacramento and Cleveland last year were better, but this is close.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 12:22 AM) http://studio.omaha.com/Alex-Gordon-descri...section=omahawh Video for anyone who doesnt want to read the article. Honestly signing Gordon just for the blow up of KC fans on Twitter will be worth it. That is, until he comes over and hits .220

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 04:13 PM) It's not Wednesday yet. Will have to be patient lol Quoted for reiteration. Kenny moves only happen on Wednesdays!

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 11:52 PM) I've been wondering if there was a market for Bruce, looks like its at least possible there is. Not sure the level of interest KC actually has but its an interesting read and could provide some hope for those Sox fans interested in signing Gordon. Either that, or a smoke screen to get Gordon to accept the KC offer.

After just watching Epiosde IV, I have realized that the ending is so similar to TFA. Death star/Starkiller base is locked on to the rebel/resistance headquarters as rebel/resistance ships attempt to destroy it by shooting at its weak point before a certain amount of time.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 10:06 PM) I'm interested to see Snoke in person. The hologram makes him look like a giant, but I have doubt that he is that large. Not gonna lie, I was kind of disappointed in his look, a little too gollum for me. There was a guy in Attack of The Clones who looks just like Snoke. He was hanging out with Dooku and that posse. I should've taken a picture. Anyway, Snoke is Jar Jar Binks.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 01:52 PM) Another candidate for the Sox tv booth. Hawk 2.0 #TWTW

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Dec 28, 2015 -> 01:48 PM) You know the wrong ones. It has been pretty quiet since the 22nd. Important lawyers (those representing athletes) don't take Christmas vacations. edit- especially when their clients are in somewhat time sensitive negotiations for a new contract
