Would be a logical landing place. I'm guessing if true not for cueto but rather Leake or Latos. Unless sox added prospects

Yeah I was thinking Latos but what if we know Homer Bailey's rehab is going well OK forget it, I'm sticking with Latos.

RT @mlb_nl_al: UPDATE: Reds acquiring Cespedes is not yet official, something preventing the deal from becoming official,
 
HAHAHAHHA

These past two days have taught me how it must feel to be a woman with a "wham-bam, thank you ma'am" lover.
 
Edit: Watch the hang up being Billy Beane forgot to fax over a page of Cespedes' contract. He holds a full no-trade clause and there's a team option for 2015 at $25M.

Very Strange, in all of Jakes days of being a baseball pundit he's never seen anything like this.

This was my thought.  The Sox added cash to the deal and it's over the "commissioners limit" so the amount has to get cleared before the deal can go through.

At this point Cherington is checking Wesley's Twitter feed to see the moves that he's making.

I can't believe you people are doubting Jake Fing Wesley. Be patient he will reveal all soon.

It's always money. Or aliens. Aliens or money. Or Jake Wesley is constructing scenarios where he can break news but then not be wrong because of imaginary hold ups.

Or aliens.

This kid is throwing shit against the wall and seeing what sticks. Only thing that separates him from a random Twitter troll is the Lou Merloni endorsement which, quite frankly, might not mean all that much

Aliens abducted Cespedes. It all makes sense now.

Lol, seriously. He's got everybody going frantic. Pretty hilarious though. Starting to sound like the kid who cried wolf, except in reverse.

This kid has nothing.  He's completely full of shit.  Anyone that follows Cespedes Family BBQ saw the tweet about Brayan Pena mentioning Cespedes in a tweet and Jake probably saw that and ran with it.

Red Sox leaked a bunch of different 'Cespedes to Team X ' rumors to lower level execs to catch the Jake Weasley source.
If his source is legit then yeah this makes a ton of sense.

Is he wrong any more than "experts"?
 
This is silly season, it's what we do.
 
 
EDIT: Just change the thread title to "A 14 year old says..." and people that get all worked up about it don't have to click.
