Keep f***ing doubting Rick Hahn and Kenny Williams.

Oh JFC here comes incarceratedbob...Zach Parise to the Penguins...

QUOTE (Saufley @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 08:44 PM) Hmmm, Not sure I like hearing that. Name those 6 teams

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 08:33 PM) Heyman just said up to 6 teams in on Cespedes Can't wait! *Bart Scott voice*

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 04:06 PM) The best part about the report, if true, is that they're willing to go 4 years Meh. IMO there's little doubt they're willing to do it. It's all game and the sox are playing it to a t.

Exactly. The Upton thing is all jockeying for Cespedes.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 04:05 PM) Between Upton and Cespedes, which guy do you think is more likely to sign with the Sox? Before the offseason, Upton. Now it's Cespedes.

Here we go...

Angels and Nats are in on Parra I seen.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 11:30 PM) Denard Span got the 3/$31M & a 4th year mutual option for $12M w/ a $4M buyout. It's pretty obvious that they won't get Cespedes/Upton on a 3 year deal. Maybe Cespedes is stuck on 5-6 years and Sox are trying to get him to 4 years. It's all a guessing game at this point IMO since the sox are so tight lipped.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 11:06 PM) Almost 2k replies in a thread about a player we haven't signed. It is kind of humorous. Just wait. It's either going to implode or explode. Get ready for the explosion tomorrow

This OF market moves at a snails pace.

Dick Allen v Caulfield dick measuring continues

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 07:40 PM) I gotta give you credit, I really admire your optimism. I really hope the Sox get something done because I think the acquisition of Cespedes would rejuvenate the fanbase a bit. This is a buyers market man. That's why I'm optimistic. Plus with main media guys saying we're a favorite and expected us to land Cespedes or Gordon. Gordon is off the board. Next man up. Hahn gets his guy IMO.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 07:37 PM) I still don't see the Tigers as a huge threat given they have no history of willing to go over the tax limit, and any big deal with Cespedes puts them way over for several seasons in a row, with the penalty going up every year. I think we could outbid them if it came down to it. I sure hope so. Also I'm hoping Cespedes is leverage for the Orioles with Chris Davis.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jan 6, 2016 -> 05:11 PM) My predictions: Davis to BAL, Cespedes CWS, Upton Giants, Parra DET. Whelp I got Upton wrong.

So let's narrow it down: CWS, BAL. DET sitting back along with LAA. I still like our chances. Baltimore is bringing back Davis. I think LA gets Upton. To me it's down to CWS and DET and this is why they're being patient.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 07:11 PM) The Tigers loved Cespedes last year and Illitch is old. They're more forced all-in than even the White Sox. One more big bat to go with the Martinezes, Kinsler, and Cabrera balances out that line-up. Right now, the outfield is soft, decent offense from Iglesias (outperformed last year) but questions at third remain with Castellanos. McCann's a better than average catcher all things considered. That's why they make me nervous. They make late splashes too.

I really like our chances. Only team that scares me is Detroit. LAA? I don't know

@BNightengale The #SFGiants never considered long term deal with Cespedes or Upton before turning to Span

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 05:41 PM) Per Jon Heyman, Giants are nearing a deal with Denard Span. One less serious contender out there. Excellent. Didn't think they were a serious threat since signing Shark and Cueto.

I've been very patient with this offseason. I think we get Cespedes and it happens soon. I think this is just jockeying the media and playing games. We got this guys.

That article was regurgitated bs

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 02:08 PM) https://soundcloud.com/mlbtr Pretty interesting comments by Merkin. Talks about the Frazier trade and the big OFers. Mentions Sox have checked in on all 3 Colorado OFers, but Rockies wanted Quintana for CarGo. :lol:

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 01:01 PM) it must be said every day Yes we need to cover our bases.
