January 21, 201610 yr This is what Hahn was saying in an interview on December 17th 2015. That last part is kind of sticking with me. Lets see that aggressiveness here, of course unless it is just crazy $$$ with Cespedes right now. “We’d have to be a little bit creative,” Hahn said when asked if a “legit” run could be made at adding a right fielder. “We’d have to be financially creative in the way we get things done. We’ve been able to do that in the past. Obviously, you can never underestimate Jerry (Reinsdorf) and Kenny (Williams) and my own aggressiveness when it comes to a chance to get better. So we’re going to try to leave no stone unturned.”
January 21, 201610 yr What's that "source's" name who said they would sign him? Bauer? I went back to page 250 and I can't find it
January 21, 201610 yr I think it's extremely likely that we don't end up getting him, but my bet is that they are giving it their best shot.

I bet they're giving it a shot, but I also bet we're nowhere close to whatever he ends up getting from someone else.

January 21, 201610 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 04:25 PM) God I hate you Kyle. Someone had to say it. Shipps is going around passing out condolence remarks like a funeral started
January 21, 201610 yr QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 10:54 PM) Although I like the pick ... Gordon Beckham, Lance Broadway, Brian Anderson, Walker .... I'm too tired to think of the rest .... they all called. The Sox don't have a great past in the draft. Very likely the 28th pick wouldn't turn out to be anything. i have been really critical of the sox FO as much as anyone, now with that disclosure, i really trust this group of the draft dept that has been drafting lately. they have done some great picks. this draft , esp in the 27-30 picks will be very good players to select from. that is why i am really adamant on not loosing that pick not an additional 2 round pick ... the farm / minor league system needs to get better.

January 21, 201610 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 04:22 PM) What team are you talking about? Some guy on twitter's tweet was posted here that the Sox will sign Cespedes. It was around page 280. I want to say his last name is Bauer. He's a nobody on twitter but says he's an expert
January 21, 201610 yr You know, if it didn't seem that we were so close to actually getting him, I wouldn't even care if he signed with anyone else.
January 21, 201610 yr Why try and sign Cespedes when we have a perennial 30/30 threat in Avisail Garcia?
January 21, 201610 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 04:38 PM) You know, if it didn't seem that we were so close to actually getting him, I wouldn't even care if he signed with anyone else. I honestly think they were until the Nationals came in and added years onto the deal that the others were offering.
January 21, 201610 yr My single ray of optimism is that usually when the Sox are completely out, a beat writer that usually covers the sox will report so. I don't trust outside writers information with that. The silence could be good.... maybe? who knows. i quit.

January 21, 201610 yr Danks and LaRoche for Werth after the Nats sign Cespedes. Sign Gallardo. Genius?
January 21, 201610 yr QUOTE (Vance Law @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 04:45 PM) Danks and LaRoche for Werth after the Nats sign Cespedes. Sign Gallardo. Genius? If you want to see Werth play about 60 games, sure. Guy is a walking injury.
January 21, 201610 yr If Cespedes doesn't sign by 12:00AM CT, I will officially declare Cespedes to have NO balls! None I tell you!!!
January 21, 201610 yr I'm wondering if he got 5 year deal from the NATS, if he does why don't he sign it already.
January 21, 201610 yr QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 02:46 PM) If you want to see Werth play about 60 games, sure. Guy is a walking injury. 147 games in 2014. 129 in 2013. And he'd be able to DH some along with Pedro Alvarez who we sign.
January 21, 201610 yr QUOTE (peavy44 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 04:49 PM) I'm wondering if he got 5 year deal from the NATS, if he does why don't he sign it already. "Hello Mr. Hahn and Mr. Alderson, we have this offer, care to beat it"
