QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 01:12 PM) Diamondbacks? That's one. But they dont want to surrender a draft pick.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 11:56 AM) It will not break the bank to trade for a Colorado OF at all. Those are guys who are solid/unspectacular. Even CarGo isnt some prime property. I highly doubt Blackmon will be cheap.

Prince Fielder was an obvious blunder. Doesnt matter how much he hits his defense almost always takes everything good he does on offense away.

Heh when I heard about cigarettes in the dugout that's what I thought of....smoking on the sideline before a kick lol

Here's Cespedes in the locker room according to beat writers

Lazy defensively yet was one of the better LFers according to DRS last year...how interesting

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 06:32 PM) Why? There are other OF options still on the board. And Desmond as well, if they want another bat that badly I still think they have perhaps delusional thoughts on what he could turn into. After all they were the ones blowing smoke up our butts about how good he could possibly be only a year ago.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 06:29 PM) He's been wrong quite a bit this off season. He has but would it surprise anyone if they went into the offseason with Garcia in the OF? I dont think so at all. Infact I expect it at this point.

If any of you are interested. Scott Merkin said on this weeks podcast that he's heard about the 3 year offer for Cespedes and other sources tell him the Sox could be done for the offseason.

I dont know if silence from the White Sox as far as interest goes is a good thing. Possibly they've decided to roll with Avi if Cespedes doesnt go their way.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 03:57 PM) Can't wait for an Avi/Venable platoon Why give Avi any help? They want him to play...let him play

Jerry CrasnickVerified account ‏@jcrasnick 47m47 minutes ago #Brewers, #Angels, #Rangers have kicked the tires on free agent OF Austin Jackson. #Cubs could be a fit for the right price. https://twitter.com/jcrasnick Since the Cespedes saga seems to be nearing an end I thought I'd post this. Good news is his market is picking up. Bad news is we arent mentioned.

QUOTE (staxx @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 03:50 PM) It's about Albers. That and he's sort of trolling people

I guess there's the load up on infield option and try to outscore out outfield deficiencies.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 01:48 PM) I'm sure we'll here "Yoenis woke up Wednesday thinking he'd be a White Sox, but the Nats blew him away with an offer" For me it's going to be the Garcia blowing smoke conference that they are going to give. Try and convince us he's worth paying money to watch.

I think it's the aftermath damage control that is going to irritate me more than him going to the Nats

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 21, 2016 -> 01:40 PM) How so, it's not like they couldn't have changed their mind on the 3 year length if they wanted to. Quite frankly, I don't think they trusted any of these 3 outfielders on a lengthy deal. I think they could have. They don't need to trust them. They just won't win as many games.

They played the market wrong and got caught. They'll pay for it at the deadline is they are even close enough to a playoff spot.

Oh that ninja delete

Technically the offseason would be a disappointment. We would still be sitting in the middle. We would still have an outfield that sacrificed about 30 runs last year. You want to let Avi struggle out there fine. Just dont blow smoke and tell me your trying to compete while he's out there dropping baseballs.

We could make a book with all the pages/comments on here
