Whisox05 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 QUOTE (oldsox @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 06:45 AM) I can see it now. Cespedes signs with either Yanks or Nats, and then that team will come to Sox to solve their dilemma; that is, take an aging, overpaid, excess outfielder off their hands for prospects. If it's the Nats, they need to get rid of Jayson Werth. If it's the Yanks, Gardner must go. Enter RH. Werth has a full no trade close so its unlikely he gets moved. Plus he's going to be 37 this and has 2 years left on contract at 21 million aav. No way Sox would go after him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Gardner isn't great, but I wouldn't mind trading for him in the right deal. Obviously he isn't as good as Cespedes, but he could slot into the 2 hole nicely behind Eaton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 07:05 AM) Full no trade clause. Not sure we'd want him because of how much he's owed, but I wonder if he'd be interested in being traded if the Nationals sign Cespedes.

Whisox05 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Sources: Mets, Cespedes discussing an opt-out clause after the 1st year of a three-year deal. Would allow him to test market again Fall '16. https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/690523949478907908 For Cespedes, 3-year deal/opt-out in '16 would give him chance to cash in next fall. For Mets, would limit financial obligation. https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/690524439113527296 Expectation among some parties in the talks is that Cespedes will make his choice in the next 24 to 48 hours. https://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN/status/690524696950001664 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 07:42 AM) Seems like Sox were used a bit in the Gordon/Cespedes sagas. Oh well, time to get creative Hahn I don't know about used. It remains to be seen if they put up the best offer. I'm pretty sure if they offered Cespedes 5 years right now without a ridiculous amount of money being deferred 20 years, they would have their man, but apparently there is a league wide reluctance to give him a lot of years. with Gordon, as long as KC was willing to give him a somewhat appropriate contract, no one had a chance.

The mystery team is an ass covering trick all these guys use. When is a "mystery team" not involved? Unless it is a slam dunk they are going some place, they say mystery team so if they go somewhere else, that was the mystery team even though there may have been 4 or 5 mystery teams, and some of the information they reported was a mystery to those involved. Mibelt needs to start using mystery team. He will come off a lot more credible. Edited January 22, 2016 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
