Jose Abreu Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Mibelt Rodriguez @MibeltRodriguez 1m1 minute ago The #Mets and #WhiteSox are the frontrunner to sign Yoenis Cespedes. He's looking for a minimum 4 years contract (1/2). Mibelt Rodriguez @MibeltRodriguez now @MibeltRodriguez The #Mets haven't make an offer to Cespedes, and they won't go beyond 3 years. The #WhiteSox may go 4 years (2/2) #MLB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) This is very miscellaneous but: the Carlos Quentin for Chris Carter trade ended up in a career WAR thereafter of 9 to 2 (though CC is still going). Funny how big a deal that trade seemed at the time, and how inconsequential it became over time.

Just at that stage. Albers was team's most consistent reliever in '15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I found this to be very interesting. Apparently Tyler's uncle, Doug Saladino, was a skater in the 70's/80's. In this article Doug explains the family heritage speaking about his parents ( Tyler's grand parents). I’m kidding. So you lived in San Diego most of your life? I’ve lived in San Diego my whole life. My parents were born and raised in Hawaii, in Maui. My dad is Filipino and my mom is Japanese. My dad is first generation American. His mom got on a boat in the Philippines with a bunch of men and headed to Hawaii in the ‘20s. http://juicemagazine.com/home/doug-pineapple-saladino/ So yes, Tyler indeed has Phillipene roots. His last name always struck me as being Italian so I learned something new today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To not even have a beat guy from ESPN for Sox baseball kind of sucks in a way. Not that they gave any huge insight but the fact that Sox interest and journalism in general reaching new lows all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that they gave any huge insight but the fact that Sox interest and journalism in general reaching new lows all the time. Not that ESPN Chicago was necessarily guilty of this, but I go back and forth all the time whether I want more or less Sox coverage from the media (especially locally). On one hand I get annoyed that the Sox get little to no attention, but on the other hand the little attention they do get is often accompanied by snark or needless comparisons to the Cubs (we can't just be our own entity), and that just annoys me further.
