Thad Bosley Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I just can't understand what the holdup is with Cespedes accepting our very generous three year offer. It's right in line with what's going on in the market! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisox05 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Detroit lineup will be heavy in right-handed hitters: Maybin, Kinsler, Cabrera, J.D.

fathom Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 What you have to wonder is just how much is Cespedes asking for? Tigers like him, so was this the cheaper deal for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) This whole situation is making the White Sox negotiating or bargaining position look a little less nuanced than previously. Gordon got six years at age 32, granted, he remained with his hometown team. 1. Royals 2. Indians 3. Tigers 4. Twins (can obviously move up based on Buxton/Berrios impact) 5. White Sox That's where things stand as of right now, at this exact moment. 1. Maybin/Gose 2. Kinsler 3. Miguel Cabrera 4. Victor Martinez 5. Upton 6. JD Martinez 7. McCann 8. Castellanos 9. Iglesias Whether Gose and Maybin can hold up in the leadoff position is another question... They might have to hit Kinsler leadoff, and move Iglesias to 2nd (not sure if last year was an anomaly yet)...and Gose/Maybin/Tyler Collins at the bottom.

Chicago White Sox Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 18, 2016 -> 08:44 PM) 6-125 for Upton. Yeah Sox aren't touching that for Cespedes Cespedes should get less than Upton, but I think 5/$100M becomes a realistic target for him and I don't see the Sox going five years.

caulfield12 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Your move, Jerry Reinsdorf. It's hard to make an argument that as things stand today, despite our 3 young/cost-controlled aces at the front of the rotation, we're NOT still likely a 4th or 5th place team. If Minnesota can get another starting pitcher, they might actually be the most dangerous team in the AL Central, but Sano still has to follow up his impressive debut and adjust to the pitchers this time around. Buxton has to stay healthy and put up at least a 700 OPS. Mike Illitch....balls (or, more accurately, a bank vault) of steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 The question is would Cespedes want an opt out? Upton is younger. Not sure Cespedes would opt out getting well into his 30s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
