January 20, 201610 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 02:44 PM) Sure, but not enough to leave tens of millions dollars on the table. Also, literally every MLB team contains Spanish-speaking players. Funny enough, that's the Mets pitch to him. He absolutely loves the Spanish culture of NYC and is reportedly willing to take a big discount to stay there.
January 20, 201610 yr QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 03:25 PM) I just figured it was clearly a joke.. and immediately the first person took it seriously. That's all. I apologize my sarcasm meter was off
January 20, 201610 yr QUOTE (oneofthemikes @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 03:41 PM) I mean, I would say that at the very least they don't dislike each other... Right. But imagine your most average friend. Maybe a guy who see once every couple months. Don't know him super well, but always got along. Let's call him Fred. Now, you're job hunting, and get offers from two companies -- one of which is the place that Fred works. The company that Fred works for is offering you 30% less money. Do you choose Fred's company? What if Fred was your best friend in the whole world?
January 20, 201610 yr QUOTE (peppers312 @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 03:39 PM) that's a pretty nice lineup compared to Eaton Cabrera Abreu LaRoche Garcia Agree...that lineup...woof
January 20, 201610 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 02:12 PM) Interestingly enough -- the Rockies just DFA'd Kyle Parker, which could be signalling a move on their part. Perhaps we could be trading for a Rockies OF instead. Can't wait to see the Sox announce the trade with CO ... for Kyle Parker. There's your new OF.

January 20, 201610 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 03:49 PM) Or is it a Pauly situation? Or it could be bulls*** from the start. I don't really get timeframes. Just general statements. I think it'll end soon enough as he's the only premier free agent left now. Supposedly teams are dropping out too. Half of the MLB speaks Spanish. Not really the best comparison. I think this whole Cespedes-Abreu thing makes no difference. Money, location (family), team's proximity to winning are really the only thing that matters. Unless you're a Cubs fan of course. Everyone wants to play for the Cubs. Yes or it could be bulls***.
January 20, 201610 yr @jonheyman Astros may not be done. They've tied for Upton and starters, and owner Jim Crane says they're "nosing around" a bit.
January 20, 201610 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 03:47 PM) Funny enough, that's the Mets pitch to him. He absolutely loves the Spanish culture of NYC and is reportedly willing to take a big discount to stay there. That's a thing that has been reported, sure. But unless it comes directly form the mouth of his agent, it's more than likely just speculation. Also, every major city has a huge Spanish-speaking population. If that's a priority, than the Angels should be the clear frontrunners.
January 20, 201610 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 02:34 PM) Why does everyone assume that all people from Cuba are friends? Balta and I are from American, and we are friends
January 20, 201610 yr QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 02:48 PM) RABBIT IS ONLINE RIGHT NOW. PLEASE GIVE US GOOD NEWS!!! I met a girl who sang the blues and I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away.

January 20, 201610 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 02:40 PM) It's weird. When I moved to Chicago and told people that I came from Ohio, like 1 in 10 would immediately say, "OH! Do you know ?!" we all just think of you all as the people who decide the president
January 20, 201610 yr I met a girl who sang the blues and I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away. We all fought in that epic war And it wasn't long at all before Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day
January 20, 201610 yr QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 03:13 PM) We all fought in that epic war And it wasn't long at all before Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day And in the end some Gungans died. Some ships blew up And some pilots fried.
January 20, 201610 yr I like that someone just created an account and their username is 'Yoenis Cespedes'. That name is going to be funny if he signs somewhere other than with the Sox.
January 20, 201610 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 02:54 PM) Balta and I are from American, and we are friends Balta hates you. Do you know a guy name Doug he works at the Lighthouse Mall? He sold me some loafers back in 97. Good guy.
January 20, 201610 yr I bet whatever our offer is to Yo is something creative. That seems to be how Hahn rolls now.
January 20, 201610 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 03:56 PM) Has anyone in the Chicago media confirmed the White Sox are interested in Cespedes? Levine for sure.

January 20, 201610 yr QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 03:58 PM) Levine for sure. That should make everyone feel better. Edited January 20, 201610 yr by Soxfest
