So I'm just catching up to this thread, but given the Upton signing (money & years), does anyone realistically think the Sox are going to offer 20+M for Cespedes and does anyone actually think the market doesn't indicate he'll get that?

I'd say he'll without get the 20+M - not likely from us IMO. The signings for Davis and Upton coupled with with the reported interest of "10 teams" -- someone will go there and it sucks but very unlikely to be the Sox.

 

Yes, there's a lot of smoke abound but in the end... The market is finally running its course... Leading to favor him cashing out bigger than we had hopes of at times.

The 3 players vs. 1 player is the better move for the team overall, but how much would they all cost?

 

Jackson is probably at least $8 million a year, Pearce is 6-7, and Fister is probably close to 10. That's nearly $25 million, and it might be a conservative estimate. Even substituting Raburn in for Pearce doesn't lower the overall total that much.

and you have a point, yr 15, was not too good, maybe b/c of injury.... who knows, but he has been really good.

Neither was 2014,2013 or 2012. Last time he was good, Ozzie was managing the White Sox, Buerhle and Paulie were still good, and Adam Dunn was historically bad.

Offer him 4 years with mutual 5th year option.

 

$10.5M

$20.5M

$21.5M

$22.5M

 

Option year $23.5M or $5M buyout if player exercises option but club declines.

 

no offense, but i think they will say no, b/c of the first yr salary.

1, 24

2. 24

3. 20

4. 18

Why would he get less in AAV than Upton? If I were him, I'd expecting just as much. This is a significant reduction from what Upton got. I think for 4 yrs 90-100M you have a shot at getting him.

isn't that all about being a fan.... dreaming on the "what if"

 

There comes a time when the fan has to become realistic. I think we have reached that time, at least I have.

If he went to the Angels on a 6 year deal or the Mets on a 1-2 year deal, can we really be upset about it though? If he stays in New York it's because he wants to be in New York. If he happens to get a 6 year deal, the Sox were never entertaining a 6 year deal anyway. Oh wait nevermind. Of course this fanbase will be mad.

Lol, yes they will be mad. Agree with your points. If Cespedes wants to be in NY or gets his 6 year deal from the Angels then its no fault of the FO.

No he's not, because until Cespedes is signed, there is still hope he signs with the Sox.

I did a lot of dreaming and wishing for a Cespedes signing just like you. I still hope there might be a surprise but, I have this empty feeling. I'm still a Sox fan, though!!

If the white sox weren't willing to pony up for what it takes for this roster to be competitive in the next 2 years then why did they trade for 2 different guys who are free agents in 2 years?

Upton is the better player and is 2 years younger
