QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 01:48 PM) The Sox will go more than 3 years for their own players. They are worth more to the team than a new player. But can you honestly see the Sox giving out a long and enormous amount of money for their owen players. Can you see them giving out almost 30 million a year for 5 plus years for sale?

They are going to need body guards at sox fest this year. Might be worth it just to go to watch the fans lay into the front office

The biggest surprise now is if #Nats don't sign Cespedes. They appear to be the only team interested in giving him longer than 3-year deal. https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/690256731805474816 Rubbing it in the sox face

Sad part is Sox aren't willing to give out large contracts only puts in prospectus that the likely hood of them not keeping sale around and will probably have to end up trading him and Abreu after the 3 yr window.

Hopefully today we are either put out of our misery or going to be happy as hell. Another day of 5 stages of grief lol

Smart money says cespedes gets a 5-yr deal (at least). Plenty of interest there. https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/690147759018643457

#whitesox free agent spending last offseason: $132 million. FA spending this offseason: $6.5 million, and still holding. https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/689111875548778497 Still same payroll as last year and supposedly had money to offer big contracts to either shark or tanaka. So where's that money at

Please no. Almost 16 million and have to give up prospects to get him. Sox need to just get Cespedes and end this lol
