SoCalSox Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 08:06 PM) A sneak peak at Merkin's next article. Rosenthal just said the same. "Source: Cespedes deal with #Mets includes no-trade clause. Had higher offers. Pending physical. @Jonheyman and @JimBowden_ESPN on it."

shipps Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hahn, would you say the Mets got "creative" with throwing in the opt out after year one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 10:07 PM) Here comes the meltdown I am not melting down. Please don't put words in my mouth. It's just annoying how the Royals and Tigers upgraded and the Sox got absolutely no one. But that's how it always is so I'm not surprised.

maggsmaggs Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) All is not lost. There are still some solid options out there. For example, Desmond + Jackson/Fowler still is an upgrade from last year and probably better than just Cespedes. But, of course, we lose two drafts I believe by going this route, which is unacceptable when our farm system is bad. So it's a double-edged sword. And it's what happens when you cannot produce your own minor league talent, you become stuck between a rock and a hard place.
