Honestly if I were the Sox or Cubs, I'd look more at Soler. He's only 19 and looks like he may have a bigger upside. Plus with both "rebuilding" or "re-tooling", the younger Soler would make more sense IMO.
I was thinking he was 26 too, but it says 27 in that article. Cespedes is probably looking at 5 years at about 5 MM per with a big fat signing bonus of like 20MM.

Cespedes has looked pathetic in the DWL.

Dude can't hit breaking stuff.

Can you start writing articles again? Ya see I like the Onion, but I need something like that with sports. you seem to be the perfect guy for it. The only issue would be that the writers for the onion know they are writing fictional shit and you would actually believe it, nonetheless it would be great reading.
