White Sox impressed by Cespedes presentation

The Chicago White Sox club is looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2015 season. Many thought the Sox would have enough behind slugger Jose Abreu and ace Chris Sale to make noise in the AL Central. As a team lacking depth at premier positions, the South Siders barely made a noticeable splash last season.

The Sox are hoping that a strong offseason can bring the team back to relevancy. CBS baseball analyst Jon Heyman reports that the Chicago team has its eye on a power-hitter in the GM meetings that can bring some pop to an anemic Sox offense.

Who knows how important watching a presentation will go in signing what will be an expensive Cespedes, but having interest in a player of his caliber at least suggest that the team is aware of its dire need of talent.

It still seems unlikely the team will sign a player with Cespedes’ price tag, because there are so many holes on the squad. Look for the Sox to make a number of small trades to help supplement its depth.
