This is seriously screwed up. This is Yoenis Cespedes, not Mike Trout. This has gotten out of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give the Sox some time to make another move before I get too upset but can't say I have too much confident in them doing much else to improve this team before ST.

Bravo and well played! As for the Reddick rumor. No problem, a fake twitter account can solve that and make it a legit rumor with the smoke, bells and whistles to go with it. By this time next year we won't even remember WTF an Avi is. Cespedes, f*** him who cares. We need to start driving ourselves crazy for the next FA we won't sign. Cespedes is old news and the new news is Josh Reddick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) http://espn.go.com/blog/washington-nationa...t-for-nationals Why Cespedes is and isn't a good fit for the Nationals... Tough choice, $65-75 million for three years from the team he really wants to stay with and coming back into the teeth of the 2018 FA class or the bigger/longer offer from the Nats, where he would also likely end in CF playing next to one of the game's two best players. http://nypost.com/2016/01/21/why-nats-woul...orst-nightmare/ Mets will talk to Cespedes again on Friday.

Seems the Yanks wouldn't come up with a three year counter-offer to the Mets...at least not with Gardner on the roster and Beltran as well.

oldsox Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
