January 8, 201610 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 03:40 PM) Not if it's a simple Parra to Rockies, Cargo to Cardinals. That would actually be bad for the Sox, as Parra is more likely a possibility for Nats/Angels Still takes the Cardinals out of the running at least

The biggest lookers are the Sox and Orioles. Everyone else is on the periphery at this point.

Fowler could be possible unless the do end up trading gio. Texas was looking at ozuna.

I would be shocked if he's still on the Reds by spring training. There were reports earlier in the off season that Baltimore was interested I believe.
January 8, 201610 yr I can still see Boston going for an OF. They have Betts, Bradley and Castillo but then it drops to Craig. They won't want Cespedes and they probably would love to unload a dead contract, but Upton may be on their wish list.

January 8, 201610 yr The three year thing is still really frustrating (since we now know it is not posturing), as is (to me) our interest in Gonzalez.

January 8, 201610 yr QUOTE (shipps @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 05:18 PM) LMAO why would Hahn say this? My God please have them sign someone soon! He most likely didn't. I don't know, I'm just curious as to how he knows for sure that they're not posturing. It doesn't make any sense at this point to know that they were "fibbing" the whole time.
January 8, 201610 yr I mean if they dont like giving up more than 3 years. They are going to really hate having to give up more prospects(who knows maybe Anderson) for one in the middle of the season because Garcia cant catch. You find his replacement now or later. It's just going to cost more later.
January 8, 201610 yr @Alden_Gonzalez Angels still looking for LF and believe they'll get one. But at this point, they either trade for one, or he makes less than $5M in 2016. Sounds like they're out on Cespedes too.

January 9, 201610 yr This might be another case of the typical big spending field clearing nicely like with Abreu but still a long way to go.
January 9, 201610 yr QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jan 8, 2016 -> 05:56 PM) Makes me think the Sox are sitting pretty well. If Detroit is our biggest competition for Cespedes, I like our chances of beating them.
January 9, 201610 yr Realistically, what teams are still in the market for Cespedes? I think the Giants and Angels are out now, so that leaves us with the: White Sox Orioles Nationals Cardinals Tigers Are there any other teams I missed? I like our chances.
January 9, 201610 yr Possibly NY if they deal Gardner or Ellsbury... Rangers but only on a shorter-term deal.

Orioles waiting on Chris Davis. Nationals I think is more focusing on getting a CF. Cardinals best fit is the trade route, imo. Tigers are a scary team because YC has a past with them and the owner is willing to throw money all over the place.

Can't rule them out, but I wouldn't them a serious threat at this point.
January 9, 201610 yr My source says that when I win the power ball tomorrow night I'll pay for Cespedes. Edited January 9, 201610 yr by Alexeihyeess
