January 15, 201610 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 11:59 AM) Rumor is Orioles don't believe in opt-outs If that's true and they are offering 5 full years guaranteed, with no out clauses...then I say they can have him as well.
January 15, 201610 yr QUOTE (peavy44 @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 12:10 PM) Cespedes to orioles today or saturday. If the O's are offering all years guaranteed, then I agree and we'll be hearing an announcement soon. I just hope the Sox get a last chance to swoop in and sweeten their offer.
January 15, 201610 yr Sources: Cespedes believed to be weighing 5/$90m w/possible option offer from O's vs. one-year deal with Mets and become a free agent again. https://twitter.com/JesseSanchezMLB/status/...062113365889024

Damn. It's not like it was unexpected, but it sucks nonetheless.
January 15, 201610 yr The question i have is what have the Sox been doing this whole time. The need to upgrade a outfield spot and a bunch of second tier OF with not QO attached been signed and yet the Sox seem to haven't been doing anything. No rumors or anything for a couple weeks now.

When the Sox are quiet is usually when they are doing something. Expect something soon.

Still time for a team to throw a hail mary and make a last second chance to up the ante. I'm not saying I'm confident it'll happen, but until he either signs with another team or the Sox say that they're completely out and moving on...it ain't over 'til it's over!

January 15, 201610 yr QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 10:24 AM) They've been quiet for weeks. Most moves take time & a lot of it.
January 15, 201610 yr Well after Jesse Sanchez's tweet I think we can consider this whole thing dead.
January 15, 201610 yr QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 11:53 AM) Brittany Ghiroli: "Source: Cespedes deal could include an option year beyond guaranteed five years. Hitter-friendly Camden Yards is appealing for him." "Orioles seem serious, esp if they add that option. Nothing is imminent, but Cespedes is at least considering the offer." 5 years and $90 million is below market value. That'd be a good deal for the signing team.
January 15, 201610 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 12:28 PM) Well after Jesse Sanchez's tweet I think we can consider this whole thing dead. What did he tweet?
January 15, 201610 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 10:27 AM) Rabbit had a big rumor yesterday, it's just not what people wanted to hear Exactly. If you follow him close enough, you can usually get a little bit of a jump on what the Sox are doing. Dude has been nails all offseason.

But passing up on either deal is rather silly.
January 15, 201610 yr Sigh. Knew it was over yesterday with rabbit saying so, but wanted to still have hope. That's a letdown.
January 15, 201610 yr @BNightengale If Yoenis Cespedes would take 1- 2- or 3-year deal, the #WhiteSox also would be an alternative for the FA outfielder.
January 15, 201610 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 12:43 PM) @BNightengale If Yoenis Cespedes would take 1- 2- or 3-year deal, the #WhiteSox also would be an alternative for the FA outfielder. The three year thing again. Joy. How I missed being reminded that the Sox won't go beyond that magic number.
January 15, 201610 yr That doesnt sound like he's saying the White Sox are back in. That just sounds like he's just putting the pieces together with the info from a few weeks ago. Maybe Cespedes would only accept a low year offer from the Mets.
