Sign Floyd to a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training and Latos to a 1 year, $1.5 million deal with a crapload of incentives. There you go.

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 11:52 AM) I think the Cardinals are a dark horse for Gordon and I think SF is a dark horse for Cespedes. I just can't see SF being a player for Cespedes considering that they've already spent $220 million this offseason alone on Cueto and Samardzija. If they get an outfielder I think it'll be someone in the Parra/Span/Fowler/Jackson group.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 11:29 AM) Oh for the love of God will this roller coaster just end already?! Now back to Gordon?! I was already over that happening. Exactly my thoughts as well. I don't know how much more of this I can handle before my head explodes. Come on Rick, just sign of one of them!!!

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 07:07 PM) @PatrickHoward50 "Hearing talks broke down because Yoenis Cespedes wants a 6-year deal, while White Sox only want to offer 5. Upton out of picture. (Pt. 1)." "White Sox still prefer Cespedes, may circle back to Alex Gordon if K.C. offer is low. White Sox willing to add 5th year to Gordon contract." ...So, I think that says all it does needs to about that whole saga in terms of his tweets last night. I don't know about you guys, but I'd much rather give Cespedes 6 years than give Gordon 5.

I just have a really hard time believing that the Sox won't do anything else now considering that they've already acquired Frazier and Lawrie. Those trades are meaningless and pointless if the Sox don't add anyone else. Why upgrade two positions when at least one more substantial upgrade is necessary to turn the team from a "wildcard hopeful" into a "legit contender"? The bottom line, in my opinion, is that Hahn is not done making moves and something else will be done.

I hate waiting as much as anyone, but this could be a blessing in disguise for the Sox. The longer these guys wait, the lower their asking price becomes. Hence, when the Sox sign one of them later this offseason, they'll have paid them less than they would've if they signed them now. The extra money saved could then be used to grab another starter for depth purposes. Think positive. I'm pretty sure Hahn knows what he's doing and that we'll get something out of this.

QUOTE (Saufley @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 02:02 PM) Sox not going over $100 mil. Have we just been wasting our time on here for the last several days? I had to edit because all of the talk has been quite interesting! Was this ever confirmed by raBBit or bucket?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 12:43 AM) http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/kids...654e57b745.html Some quotes (probably missed them earlier) from Gordon on his situation from the Harold Reynolds baseball camp there in Omaha...btw, Brian Duensing would be another name to throw in the mix for LHR/loogy. Isn't that exactly why Dan Jennings is currently on the team? To be a loogy?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 11:45 PM) Did you make this? I'm laughing out loud. Props to whoever thought of making another one of these.

I just asked Barstool Dave on Twitter about what the current situation is and if he feels confident about the Sox signing Cespedes, and he said... Take that FWIW. It's looking good for us now though IMO.

@barstoolWSD All I was told is that Yo and the Sox are "very close on 6/125". Trustworthy guy (f*** "sources"). I'm waiting with baited breath as well

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 09:40 PM) Maybe we will get Cespedes, Gordon, Desmond and Chris Davis and then call it an offseason. Oh and Latos. We'd need Upton too. Otherwise those players won't make the team good enough.

@JonHeymanCBS chisox are at least weighing yoenis cespedes & alex gordon to fill an outfield spot @Ken_Rosenthal & @JesseSanchezMLB on it Heyman is tweeting. This is getting serious.

Do raBBit or bucket of suck have any new info that they're willing to share with the rest of us?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 07:18 PM) Hmm we'll find out soon how credible this guy is. I asked him if he'd bet his reputation on this rumor, and he said yes, FWIW.

@PatrickHoward50 Per source within the White Sox organization; team will ink Yoenis Cespedes to a 6-year deal. Dollar amount pegged at $125-135 million.

Cespedes and it isn't close.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 05:16 PM) Ya know, I'm really disappointed in Hahn for this deal with Cespedes not being done yet and I don't think Hahn cares about what the Sox fans want. It's all about the team orientated bulls***. I mean, WTF Hahn, there's still two months left before pitchers and catchers report! What are you waiting for Hahn? No cajones I tell you, none. They probably turned blue, fell off and now reside in a squirrel's nest somewhere feeding their young. GAWD! If only Hahn would've signed Cespedes on Christmas Day, then he would've really won me over. Then I would know that he's not messing around and has balls of steel.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 02:30 PM) I believe he would come back as a starter, at least for now. But even if he didn't it gives the team another option. As of today, who is the teams SS if Saladino flops? Leury Garcia

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 02:25 PM) I think with every big move, the odds of Alexei coming back go up. Even if he doesn't stay as your starter, it gives you another option, especially if Saladino flops. Why would the Sox pay Alexei $5 million or whatever it'd take to get him to then put him in a bench role? If he's coming back, it's as a starter IMO.

raBBit, if you had to guess right now, who do you think the Sox are getting?

If I had my choice between Gordon or Cespedes, I'd choose Cespedes. That being said, I'll be happy with either as long as the Sox do something. 6/100 for Cespedes would be a nice deal for the Sox IMO.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 12:15 PM) are you going to say this every day until something happens I'm sorry that I'm trying to be optimistic.

I have a feeling that something will happen soon.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 12:06 PM) Just stop, it's not going to happen. I know it won't happen, I'm just shooting for the stars lol.
