Report: White Sox still not willing to go beyond three years on Yoenis Cespedes

The market on free agent outfielder Yoenis Cespedes may be changing, but the White Sox don't appear to be altering their stance.

All along, the Sox have indicated they would not extend an offer for more than three years to Cespedes, but the Washington Nationals are reportedly willing to go up to five years and at least $100 million:

Hearing nats are pressing to get cespedes deal done. Belief is they're willing to go to about 100M/5 yrs, maybe a bit more.

Nats interested in structuring a cespedes deal over many years, a la scherzer deal.
