Derrick Rose OUT with hamstring tendinitis. Hinrich starting.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 03:55 PM) You guys remember the feeling you had when the Bulls were trying to sign a FA (both times) and had the money but just could not get them to come here for whatever reason? As a fan you kind of had that feeling that is what was happening even though we heard they had mutual interest in a lot of cases. In the end it didn't turn out too well. I kind of get that same feeling with big FA's the Sox are targeting right now. I could be totally wrong, I know. To be more optimistic, when we didn't get LeBron, Rose came out the very next season and won MVP, seemingly out of nowhere. When we didn't get Melo, Butler came out the very next season and matched his elite defense with efficient, improved offense, seemingly out of nowhere. If we do fail to land Cespedes/Gordon/Upton and end up with the consolation prize- a Carlos Boozer, if you will- perhaps another player on the Sox will step up with unforeseen improved production.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 04:00 PM) Except the White Sox can actually close a deal. Hey, we got Carlos Boozer.

I kind of get that same feeling with big FA's the Sox are targeting right now. I could be totally wrong, I know. During the 2009 NBA offseason, I put LeBron on the Bulls in NBA 2K and we didn't get him. During the 2014 NBA offseason, I put Melo on the Bulls in NBA 2K and we didn't get him. During the 2015 MLB offseason, I will not put Cespedes on the White Sox in MLB The Show. You're welcome, everyone.

Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow says he "would not be surprised" to see the Giants land Cespedes, according to multiple sources.

QUOTE (glangon @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 03:44 PM) I've seen a Rabbit in a Bucket. Does that count? Yes.

It has been oddly quiet today on Twitter. Not even the occasional "SOURCE: Cespedes, White Sox agree to deal" tweet, which we saw lots of last night.

QUOTE (Saufley @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 03:16 PM) Mentioned by Rabbit Dec 30 1:04PM But it was Merkin who told him. Merkin has been wrong 100% of the time this offseason.

Saw this update from my MLB app and immediately thought it was Cespedes to the Sox. If we don't sign him now, I'll always resent Scott Kazmir.

One thing's for sure, the Twitterverse is a lot more quiet than it was yesterday on the Cespedes front.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 12:14 PM) If he signs for that little, I'll eat my hat. LMAO... I wish he signed for that.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 12:03 PM) I wonder if the players and GMs look at Twitter and laugh their asses off at all of this. Well, many GMs do look at message boards.

Mike Petriello ‏@mike_petriello 2m2 minutes ago @filmreviewbyme he wasn't close to signing yesterday. Doubt anyone does until January.

"According to my sources, (Wikipedia) Yoenis Cespedes has signed with the White Sox." "SOURCE: Cespedes signs with the Chicago Cubs. My source is Steve Harvey"

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 with the keyword 'Cespedes'

Sure, buddy...

Nope, it's still there.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 10:57 AM) My sharp detective skills lead me to believe he hasn't used Twitter much since October 2014. But that's not the case, because he has tweeted many times since then

It wasn't an "according to sources" joke, but it was a joke nonetheless... I do find it strange that a tweet from 14 months ago is one of his most recently liked tweets, though

Not an "according to sources" joke, but one of Cespedes' most recently liked tweets is "I love you come play for St. Louis"

QUOTE (MDWhiteSoxFan @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 10:32 AM) But guys I'm off this Wednesday... The other Wednesday I was working. I'm also off next Wednesday so this signing will happen the 13th of January. But it's currently 30 degrees Fahrenheit in Chicago and usually when it's 30 degrees that's when the White Sox announce signings

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 12:43 AM) Wasn't that during the Winter Meetings in SD last year? Or was that later? A week later

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 12:21 AM) Didn't we sign Melky at 1 am? It was like 12:45, if I remember correctly

I guess I was wrong: QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 11:55 PM) Hahn strikes shortly after midnight CT. KW strikes on Wednesdays. Seems like the perfect storm for a signing of Yoenis Cespedes in the next 90 minutes! Twitter has died down almost completely with the keyword 'Cespedes'. I guess the perfect storm wasn't so perfect over all. QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 11:57 PM) Haha f*** you man I was just about to hang up the internets for the night too Hang it up, you should be fine now!
