Damn giving up Cespedes, I bet there's a lot of pissed off A's fans. I'm sure he was a fan favorite.

So, the A's have the best record in baseball, the fourth lowest team ERA, and decide to trade one of their best power hitters for Jon Lester?

WTF?

I don't follow baseball super close, but it seems like Samardzija and Lester are a pretty legit 1,2 at the top of the rotation.

I've seen moneyball, so I'm curious how much money each make and how much of the contract the As are picking up

It get's them out of Cespedes contract, gives them a no.2 starter at least, and Gomes will obviously platoon. Win win for both. The Sox will more than likely sign Lester in free agency anyway so I think the really helps the Sox. Both teams won this trade imo.

They could move Moss to the OF and start their cathers at DH & 1B and not skip a beat.

Why would you give up Cespedes for a Lester rental?

Lester is just gonna end up in Wrigley next spring anyways
