Bob Sacamano Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 QUOTE (Kevtrem @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 12:09 PM) If we let this thread get to 300 before Yo signs, I would be ashamed and embarrassed for us all. I would be a bit if he signs somewhere else. If he signs with us...time well spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
103 mph screwball Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 This has officially destroyed today's productivity. Let's get him today. Work will be too busy tomorrow. Random speculation for the contract pool Sox will get him. 4 years 93 million with mutual options that can vest for years 5 (25 mil) and 6 (27 mil). Effectively 6 years 144 million if he plays like a stud. It happens today. Wednesday. In time for people to listen to the radio on the commute home and see it on the news all evening.

blackmooncreeping Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 12:09 PM) I figured as much. I'm just having some fun because its just boring waiting for Cespedes to make up his mind. The Sox have been eerily quiet the last few weeks. It's kind of weird because there was tons of smoke before the Lawrie and Frazier trades. I think free agent signings are more secretive, have a higher degree of falling apart due to early leaks, are more susceptible to a last second suitor swooping in for the prize, and thus show much less smoke towards the end. Trades don't seem to be at much risk due to chatter, for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I've been in a meeting all morning just nodding along and saying "sounds good" as I keep hitting refresh. I hope the fact that I have no idea what's going on at work is rewarded with a Cespedes signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 This has officially destroyed today's productivity. Let's get him today. Work will be too busy tomorrow. My productivity today was already destroyed. Watching for Cespedes news has replaced watching my retirement account shrink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Jan 20, 2016 -> 12:21 PM) I have a feeling he won't sign for another week. It seems his market is out there. I don't know what waiting around another week would do. If I were him, I would want to get the ink on the paper ASAP. What if he injures himself working out?

bschmaranz Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Cespedes pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
