QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 12:03 PM) I wonder if the players and GMs look at Twitter and laugh their asses off at all of this. Well, many GMs do look at message boards.

Mike Petriello ‏@mike_petriello 2m2 minutes ago @filmreviewbyme he wasn't close to signing yesterday. Doubt anyone does until January.

"According to my sources, (Wikipedia) Yoenis Cespedes has signed with the White Sox." "SOURCE: Cespedes signs with the Chicago Cubs. My source is Steve Harvey"

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 11:52 AM) Where do you guys see this stuff at? Does it get RT'd on your timeline or do you go searching for it? (Serious question) Search with the keyword 'Cespedes'

Sure, buddy...

Nope, it's still there.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 10:57 AM) My sharp detective skills lead me to believe he hasn't used Twitter much since October 2014. But that's not the case, because he has tweeted many times since then

It wasn't an "according to sources" joke, but it was a joke nonetheless... I do find it strange that a tweet from 14 months ago is one of his most recently liked tweets, though

Not an "according to sources" joke, but one of Cespedes' most recently liked tweets is "I love you come play for St. Louis"

QUOTE (MDWhiteSoxFan @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 10:32 AM) But guys I'm off this Wednesday... The other Wednesday I was working. I'm also off next Wednesday so this signing will happen the 13th of January. But it's currently 30 degrees Fahrenheit in Chicago and usually when it's 30 degrees that's when the White Sox announce signings

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 12:43 AM) Wasn't that during the Winter Meetings in SD last year? Or was that later? A week later

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 12:21 AM) Didn't we sign Melky at 1 am? It was like 12:45, if I remember correctly

I guess I was wrong: QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 11:55 PM) Hahn strikes shortly after midnight CT. KW strikes on Wednesdays. Seems like the perfect storm for a signing of Yoenis Cespedes in the next 90 minutes! Twitter has died down almost completely with the keyword 'Cespedes'. I guess the perfect storm wasn't so perfect over all. QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 11:57 PM) Haha f*** you man I was just about to hang up the internets for the night too Hang it up, you should be fine now!

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 11:59 PM) Did you make this? I'm laughing out loud. Props to whoever thought of making another one of these. It was me, and I'll update it if/when we sign an outfielder, and I could probably make it look good and not poorly photoshopped like it is now Eaton sure put on some weight...

7-5 final

PS- if we get Cespedes, someone should join Soxtalk with the username "Yoenis Cespedes". It sure worked with Abreu.

Random fact: Yoenis Cespedes is the only person with the last name 'Cespedes' to play in the Majors, despite there being 19 people with the last name 'Cespedes' to play in the minors.

I prefer Cespedes but his streakiness concerns me. I hope he wouldn't put up 2013-like numbers for us.

QUOTE (Saufley @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 09:00 PM) I don't believe this guy. Again, this is the guy who claims to be Tim Anderson's best friend.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 08:31 PM) That guy is also saying the Angels offered Cespedes $125 million. Does he have any credibility? I believe so. Can anyone else verify?

@barstoolWSD No bulls***, I have it on very good authority that the White Sox and Yo are "close" This guy actually has some credibility.
