QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 18, 2016 -> 10:25 PM) So the White Sox are now idiots because the Tigers signed Upton? Ain't life grand. I think this a big for our chances at Cespedes. Eliminates Detroit and the Mets who will only do a 1-2 year deal. One threat out there for me could be the Angels.

No faith on this board sheesh. I feel like I'm the only confident one

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 18, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) Just watched the Cespedes segment on MLB Network. No new information, but they all said that the Sox are a good fit. We were also the first team they mentioned. It makes a ton of sense and it's been mentioned by all the top reporters. When Rosenthal said he expected us to land Gordon or Cespedes it was good enough for me. Still a waiting game. Though I wonder if Detroit is being used against the Sox.

Signing FAs to huge contracts is almost never wise. I'll take my chances with Cespedes here. Get it done Hahn.

It would just be an incredible addition from a marketing standpoint let alone impact in the middle of the lineup.

I'm not going to lose it just yet. If we don't sign him, I'll be pissed for sure. To go from should land Cespedes or Gordon to none, would just suck.

Here comes the Tigers. Haha right on cue.

Drumming up interest is what it seems.

Ten teams doesn't jive with Cespedes demands. I don't buy this.

Hopefully the sox were just waiting to strike like I've been saying. Well see. His agent will try and turn this into a bidding war

Call me an optimistic homer but I still think we get him.

@masnRoch Told deal with Chris Davis is for less money than Cespedes was seeking #orioles

This is just great news for the White Sox.

Ok. Now things get interesting. Get it done Hahn.

Here here!!

$5.3 mil for reed LOL.

All of the ice cream sundae in a helmets you can eat!

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 02:44 PM) That's the problem. Boras tried putting it out there that Davis would play the OF and nobody bought it. He tricked the Orioles into competing with themselves over Davis then turned down $157m, it's baffling. I laughed at that report.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 02:49 PM) 5 weeks till Sox pitchers and catcher's report. Still got time to get Cespedes lol Still options out there. This is a snails pace

I really see this as pressure for Davis. Where else could he go?

@jcrasnick Yoenis Cespedes has been seeking a 6-year deal in the $22M annual range this winter, said #MLB source.

I want to have hope but there's nothing to support it

Just up the Orioles and call it a day

So Mets don't have an offer. This is fishy.
