QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 25, 2015 -> 12:37 AM) Does the Gordon situation seem weird to you at all, Bucket? He seems non-committal & almost like he isn't sure that he wants to play for the Sox. It also seems like Cespedes is hurting his price by holding out longer... Do you think these guys are getting cheaper as each week passes? Only so long before ST... Yeah this one's been a strange ride on all these guys. After Heyward the market moved in a way nobody expected. None of the media has said this yet, but Heyward's clauses (opt-out & trade) really shifted the paradigm.

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Dec 25, 2015 -> 12:33 AM) rabbit said its gordon cespedes upton in that order. Rabbit has good sources.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 25, 2015 -> 12:21 AM) Do they have an order of preference, given salary projections? It's fluid. Salary is only one factor. Tough to call an order of preference just yet. They really like Gordon though...

QUOTE (toasty @ Dec 25, 2015 -> 12:22 AM) of course, just wasn't sure if they had it narrowed down to only pursuing one of them, and not the others for one reason or another As always they have their short list and send out action on all until there's a reason not to.

QUOTE (toasty @ Dec 25, 2015 -> 12:16 AM) is it Gordon or none of the "big 3" ? They are targeting an impact OF but the outcome is not only up to them.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 25, 2015 -> 12:15 AM) Any serious talks abo it Cespedes or Upton? Yeah for sure. All 3 in play but that ain't news.

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Dec 25, 2015 -> 12:15 AM) Thanks for your info for sure they give gordon offer mondayand what about cespedes. Ces talks have been ...strange.

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Dec 25, 2015 -> 12:05 AM) Is alexei done with the white sox and I heard Gordon signing will drag into Jan. Alexei is still on the radar but not a fit as of now. He's still looking multi-year. Sox looking pillow at SS. No way to read the Gordon camp as of now. Talks have been hot & cold but substantiating.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 11:59 PM) Did Gordon sign yet? What's the word on SS? Rolling with Tyler or signing alexei They like Saladino to hold for Anderson. Courtesy talks with AR... we'll see how that plays out in Jan.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 24, 2015 -> 11:58 PM) Whats gonna happen with Alex gordon and the sox Up to Alex and Casey. It's been an intense week at the Cell for sure. The Gordon talks have been front and center. He'll have an offer on Monday.

It's Christmas. I'm here taking questions for the next 2 mins...

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 04:32 PM) ... I hate you bucket. Don't hate. Appreciate.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 04:16 PM) Damn, I saw you posted and was hoping for some scoop Expect an outfielder.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 04:11 PM) Baez and Soler for Gray. Can't see the A's saying no to that haul You're kidding,...right?

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 01:23 AM) If the price is right then I approve of this deal but I wonder about him in the clubhouse. The guy is kind of an asshole. IF the Sox do acquire him and it seems inevitable, then they need a leader in that clubhouse to put Lawrie in his place when the time comes. RE: Character concerns. He's intense but Lawrie is fine in the clubhouse. Buehrle gave a solid endorsement and that's good enough for many.

Lawrie to Sox has legs

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 12:07 AM) I was just thinking KW and Hahn have to be butting heads right now a lot. Who's in charge here ? KW is in charge.

QUOTE (GoGoSox2k2 @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 11:58 PM) Amy idea on the targets? Well they move him before the start tomorrow or wait til Friday you think Not sure they even know as of tonight. Doubt the deal parts are changing before Friday.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 12:00 AM) Being all in for 2016 would have no impact on Shark deal, he is going to free agency regardless. I does affect the talks but more within than with partners.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 11:58 PM) it proves what most on this site been saying on hahn and kw. i wonder who orchestrated the actual players in the trade??? kw or hahn??? Been going on for months. KW / TOR is still a hot button topic don't think it's not. Big drama in the FO this season.

Deals for Shark to TOR and SF in place. The deals are sitting there. KW is still "all in" on '16 and Rick is not so there's that drama right now.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 09:05 AM) I assume most of you have seen this article today: http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/news/article/137...10400-819207683 Anyone have strong thoughts on these players? You lost me at "By Phil Rodgers"

IMO, this team is as bad or worse then they've played. Just a bad mix of poor fundamentals and an even worse baseball IQ.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 17, 2015 -> 11:29 PM) I was watching the game with a Sox fan and I said, 'Time for the four-out save' and Robin did indeed get the hack reliever out of there. Robin didn't sit back and let the relievers blow it. He went with his horse and got another win. I didn't think Hahn and Kenny's calling out Robin was going to help anything, but it appears to have woken everybody up. Defensive positioning -esp infield was awful in OAK.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ May 17, 2015 -> 11:47 PM) You know we could pretty much end Cleveland's season with a 4 game sweep. Wouldn't that be tasty. Hate to sound negative, but nothing on the recent Sox road trip inspired much confidence. Winning streak is fool's gold IMO. I just see far too many flaws on the field and in the dugout.
