QUOTE (Sockin @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 08:59 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 He said we signed Upton

Just remember some people love to troll.

A lot of stuff thrown around. He's doesn't have many followers so I'll wait til Rosenthal says it's done.

I still would love to add a SP to go with an OF.

Rosenthal was on high heat on MLBN. Just reiterated what he said this morning. Expects us to add Gordon or Cespedes and that we will be adding an OF

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 03:02 PM) I wish I was on Twitter when I said the Sox would sign Avila. An educated guess could have made all the sites give me credit for being the first to "report". Too much of rabbits stuff has actually come true for him to be making things up. It is pretty obvious his source is solid. Rabbit is absolutely legit. He's not throwing s*** at the wall in hopes of it sticking. He drops info tidbits and all accurate.

@ckamka If the White Sox were to get Cespedes, at least Quintana wouldn't have to face him... 9-15, 2 doubles, triple, 4 HR, BB, 0 strikeouts

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 02:32 PM) raBBit notes that Cespedes is rumored to be looking for a 6/100M contract. If true it shows how much the prices have come down since Cespedes was rumored to be looking for 6/140-150M. The 6/100M could be why the Sox are in talks with Cespedes. For that price or close to it, I'll climb aboard the Cespedes train. I'm down. Sign me up

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 02:31 PM) I have three of greg's houses. I could sell you one. I also have some ocean front property in Arizona

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 02:25 PM) I'm predicting both of them sign with the Sox for the same price 5yr/$110M. At the same time too. I'd s*** my pants. That's not happening. (Hope the reverse jinx works )

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 02:20 PM) ...I like boobs, let's not insult them like that. Hehe

LOL id trade Rodon for Fernandez and not look back

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 02:09 PM) FWIW Merkin & Hayes were both saying they didn't expect any of the big 3 a week or two ago. I like merkin. He came out with an article on Todd Frazier the guy a couple days before the trade. I pay attention to him some. Hayes is a boob.

Things are heating up. Give me one of Cespedes or Gordon tonight

Hope rosenthal is right. I think he is. Get er done Hahn!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 10:10 AM) This is also the guy who said don't be surprised the Sox made a move on Christmas Eve. I don't think he has any inside knowledge, just trying to seem like he does. Why wouldn't Upton want to play for the White Sox if they were offering the most money? Preposterous. Oh I know it was just a tidbit is all. It's all smoke and mirrors right now trying to decipher things. I don't take a lot of it as gospel.

@SSS_joshnelson I think the White Sox chances of signing Upton are pretty slim. Not for a lack of interest from the team, but more so from Upton's.

@ken_rosenthal Sources: #WhiteSox remain active in outfield market. Gordon, Cespedes among possibilities.

Lol this thread took a funny turn. Some people need to relax. See how this plays out.

The poster said for what it's worth. Relax.

I don't buy that at all considering they tried to trade for him at the deadline.

Hope we land one next week. I'm just nervous that if price drops, we'll miss out.

QUOTE (credezcrew24 @ Dec 25, 2015 -> 04:53 PM) Byrd and Aoki are two cheap players that would still be vast upgrades over Avi. Aoki signed with Mariners I believe.

QUOTE (ron883 @ Dec 25, 2015 -> 02:01 PM) Hahn needs to send a message to sox fans. He needs to show his dedication to the job by making a Christmas Day trade. He needs to show he has stones to make a move like that. Sign Upton or Gordon today, you win my respect. A Christmas signing is cold blooded. Lol wut?

Just catching up on all of this. Seems like we have a little momentum with Gordon. Hopefully we can get one quickly before teams jump back in. That scares me. I think Cespedes goes back to DET, we get one of Gordon/Upton.
