Gonna suck when they lose that 1-game playoff after finishing 2nd in the West to the Angels.

Hey Deano.

A's going all in on this one. Should be interesting to see how this shapes up.

In other news, I think the Rangers won their first series in about a month last night.

So the A's trade a hitter who ranks 5th on their team in OPS+ for Jon Lester? After they aggressively went out and added Samardzija?

This is a team going all in. They understand that the res of the AL is down, and they have their best chance to win the title right now. The future is now and all that.

As an Oriole fan, it pisses me off the O's are hoarding prospects for the "future" while failing to realize what the A's have: the window is open right now, and the Yankees and Red Sox won't suck forever. Even if the A's don't win the WS, this is a great deal. They are doing everything they can to win right now. Good on them.
