I was just saying what we heard from the beat yesterday in regards to the Angels. I don't know his track record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I don't know for sure, but some beat writer saying they're not doesn't change anything for me. Your best guess--does Cespedes deal get done within next 24 hours, 24-72 hours, or beyond? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peppers312 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 i guess i'm surprised Cespedes hasn't signed yet just because of the opportunity to team up with a fellow Cuban in Abreu. obviously money is the #1 for all the free agents, and rightfully so because they deserve to get the most money they can. but the next thing that would motivate me would be winning, and maybe that's where the Sox fall short in terms of potential teams to sign with. so that's why i'm hoping that he considers playing with a fellow Cuban important and Hahn can get a deal done before the weekend.

I don't know if they are friends, but Cespedes really talked up Abreu before he came over, and Abreu has said similar things about Cespedes.

It's weird. When I moved to Chicago and told people that I came from Ohio, like 1 in 10 would immediately say, "OH! Do you know ?!" "No. Why?" "Oh that's my cousin's wife and she's from Ohio." Ok so there are roughly ten million people spread out over like 40,000 miles in the state of Ohio. What are the chance I would randomly know one? The Cuban player thing isn't QUITE as bad because they actually played on the same team -- but what are the chances that they are BFFs to the point that one would leave money on the table to reunite? It's way more likely that they're completely indifferent toward each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's way more likely that they're completely indifferent toward each other. While I understand this point, it is like when you study abroad or visit abroad and suddenly you are best friends with the other Americans/Irish/Australians there. You have a lot in common, are going through a similar experience, and speak the same language. There are few others that could understand you more than a fellow expat star cuban baseball player in bigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's way more likely that they're completely indifferent toward each other. I agree with you, but I could see the appeal for any power hitter wanting to be in a lineup with Abreu. The fact that they're both from Cuba, and have played together in the past is just gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
