Doesn't seem like Cespedes will get 5-6 year deal from anyone. White Sox could be in good position if he's willing to drop asking price. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/688413636390440962

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 16, 2016 -> 09:53 AM) Imagine the meltdown if Cespedes signs elsewhere and the Sox do not sign anyone. The torches will light up the Chicago skyline. The comments will be funny to read so there's that. Fans will going to Sox fest to yell at the front office

Royals reach 5-year, $70 million deal with Ian Kennedy. In his career against the American League, he's 6-17 with a 5.48 ERA. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/688386092957958144

Come on Cespedes for the rest of us

Another day going through the 5 stages of grief today over Cespedes lol.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 15, 2016 -> 03:23 PM) Well, there's always Carlos Gomez, Colby Rasmus and a 37 year old Jose Bautista next year... The jays are trying to lock up Bautista.

5 weeks till Sox pitchers and catcher's report. Still got time to get Cespedes lol

Getting mixed answers on level of impatience #Orioles have with Chris Davis. But they're clearly not ready to move past him yet. https://twitter.com/jcrasnick/status/688080799351107584

#Orioles have discussed 5 yrs. and $17-18M per year. That provides some context on gap that would have to be bridged w/Cespedes. https://twitter.com/jcrasnick/status/688080115029426177

Clarification: Mets do not have an offer on table for Cespedes. They've shown interest at a deal less than 4-6 years & Cespedes knows this. https://twitter.com/JesseSanchezMLB/status/...076536935616512 And the tables keep turning

Maybe the real team laying in the weeds is the sox lol

to clarify, mets do NOT have a 1-year offer currently on table. theyd talk about 1-3-yr pacts if cespedes came off long deal https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/688069992970104832

The question i have is what have the Sox been doing this whole time. The need to upgrade a outfield spot and a bunch of second tier OF with not QO attached been signed and yet the Sox seem to haven't been doing anything. No rumors or anything for a couple weeks now.

Sources: Cespedes believed to be weighing 5/$90m w/possible option offer from O's vs. one-year deal with Mets and become a free agent again. https://twitter.com/JesseSanchezMLB/status/...062113365889024

Forgot this got aired last night and also forgot to watch it. They have a quick count down Mlb networks page under videos.

One issue for #Orioles if they go with Cespedes over Davis: Team’s lineup is awfully right-handed. Cespedes only would add to imbalance. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/687838527896313858 Also, FWIW: Cespedes career .723 OPS vs. AL East, compared with .817 vs. AL Central and .837 vs. AL West. Samples vs. NL divisions smaller.. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/687838564097339392

Didnt the Sox have some money they were trying to offer shark. Is that money still floating around or did they spend it on something we don't know about.

Orioles thing could be way to get davis and white sox to budge. Went from Sox were supposed to get one of Gordon or Cespedes and nothing has been said for sox lately on it.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 05:33 PM) Weird than Rosenthal didn't include a 4th year in that tweet. Makes me wonder if he's already lowering down into a 4/5 year expectation. I think mets only want to go maybe max of 3 years which seems same place for sox. I think he was wanting like 6 years so a good difference in years.

Sources: For #Mets to engage on Cespedes, they would need to hear from his agents that he is willing to entertain short-term deal… https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/687416576446967809 Agents have not given #Mets any indication that Cespedes would accept deal of 1, 2 or 3 years. Cespedes remains committed to longer term. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/687416581509525508

Problem for #Angels in potential Blackmon trade is that they likely would need to give up major-league pitching; difficult for them to do. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/687060841980669953 #Angels’ farm system was depleted even before they made trade for Simmons. #Rockies likely would see little value in their prospects. https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/687061231581196295
