January 21, 201610 yr QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 07:29 PM) Uh oh, cue the ARod for LaRoche rumor... IIRC, aren't JR and ARod friends? Recue: but where would he play?
January 21, 201610 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 08:17 PM) What would you pay Cespedes if it was up to you? At this point? Cespedes was the one I wanted least of the big three, but: I'd go up to 5/125. He's a four win upgrade over Avi and I believe in this team as a mid-80's winner with that upgrade.
January 21, 201610 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 02:17 AM) What would you pay Cespedes if it was up to you? i will play. 4 yr contract. 10 signing bonus 1- 25 mil player has an option 2.-20 mil mutual option 5 mil 3-20 mil mutual option 5 mil 4. 18 mil. Edited January 21, 201610 yr by LDF
January 21, 201610 yr QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 07:32 PM) Recue: but where would he play? I'm just talking a little smack. I don't really believe ARod is coming to play for the Sox. Pretty sure ARod and JR go back a few years so if they had lunch there's probably nothing to it.

January 21, 201610 yr The 3 year thing has been said so many times already that I'm starting to believe it. It wouldn't shock me if our FO is really that delusional. Edited January 21, 201610 yr by ChiSoxFanMike
January 21, 201610 yr http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2016/1/19/1079...7764.1441920792 Why the Justin Upton contract is the best move of the offseason... Stuck it here because it has a very good discussion of the ramifications of the opt-out trend in baseball and why it's much more likely the Tigers don't end up with Upton long-term but get the benefit of his services these next two years that are probably the last open window of contention.
January 21, 201610 yr If its really 3yrs or bust.. Cespedes wont be signing here.. however, more than likely just BS.. I hope
January 21, 201610 yr I really don't see him signing for 3 years so I call bs. Maybe opt out after 3 years.

Probably means sox are offering 3 years and they are discussing option years. They have no chance to get him if it's only 3 years.

I can't imagine 3 years would work Would it??
January 21, 201610 yr Why is it that Bbbby boy keeps touting the same thing even after other sources have said the Sox were willing to go 4 years? Is Bobby being spoon-fed some nonsense?

January 21, 201610 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 07:56 PM) Who has said they would go 4? Honestly I forget. I've posted so many links to the Cespedes saga I can't remember it all but I have seen a few times that the Sox were reportedly willing to go a fourth year. ChiSoxFanMike: you alright bud? I'm starting to wonder if you will melt down if Cespedes doesn't sign. You're too young to be on heart medications.
