January 8, 201610 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 09:44 AM) If Upton signs a one year deal before Cespedes signs, that could really put the Sox into a bind as it will put teams interested in Upton back into the Cespedes market. Which teams are interested in Upton that aren't also interested in Cespedes?
January 8, 201610 yr QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 09:51 AM) Which teams are interested in Upton that aren't also interested in Cespedes? I've mainly just heard a lot more smoke from Texas around Upton and nothing on cespedes. They like him on a short term teal or longer term one that gets more expensive post-beltre contract I think I read.
January 8, 201610 yr QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 09:46 AM) Unless it is with the Sox.. On a one year deal, I would imagine you can find a more competitive team to sign with, starting with a team like the Tigers.

I personally don't think the Tigers are a lock to be better than the Sox next year, and the Cell is a better hitters park to post #'s in.

January 8, 201610 yr George Ofman @georgeofman 12m12 minutes ago Chicago, IL While Sox might be open to 4 year deal, very unlikely they go past three with either player. He's not making a lot of sense

I get it and I usually don't try to jump down reporters throats but in like 30 minutes he tweets that the sox are willing to go 4 years for Upton or Cespedes and then that they're very unlikely to. Like I said, I understand what's going on but still all over the place.

January 8, 201610 yr I don't see what's wrong with that tweet. "They're willing to go more than 3 but it is unlikely that they would." ....? It's possible that team could be willing but the chances are slim is what's it's saying. Edited January 8, 201610 yr by soxfan2014

All this speculation that has been beaten like a dead rotten horse and then laid out upon some warm stink bait that is attracting some catfish that are eating it... but then they die because it had poison in it...so now the dead catfish are smelling on top of the dead horse...and it all just sits there waiting to be s*** on by twitter. Fun stuff.

January 9, 201610 yr http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article/mlb/justin...p;vkey=news_mlb Agent: Upton still seeks long term deal http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/14531913...-larry-reynolds Edited January 9, 201610 yr by caulfield12
January 9, 201610 yr It's becoming increasingly obvious Upton is going to be this year's big free agent that doesn't sign until late Jan/early February.
January 9, 201610 yr My revised predictions: Orioles: Davis Blue Jays: Cespedes White Sox: Upton (late short-term deal)
January 9, 201610 yr I'm going to go with.. Davis to the Jays Upton to Baltimore Cespedes to the White Sox
January 9, 201610 yr QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 11:31 PM) I'm going to go with.. Davis to the Jays Upton to Baltimore Cespedes to the White Sox I'm ok with anything that lands us Upton or Cespedes
