Red Sox trade Lester and Gomes for Cespedes. Why? This move doesn't make sense. They have a quality starter in the minors. Maybe Wolf wanted to get rid of the big contract.

Didn't see that coming, hopefully Lester can pick Hammel's slack.

Cause the A's are going after pitching for post season. Oakland pushed their chips all in this year.... Going after that 5th WS title in Oakland.

a's are going balls out this year..all or nothing. it is an expensive rent to pay for a pitcher that will be a free agent end of the year but if they do win it all this year, beane will look like a genius. in reality, theyre losing a guy in cespy who would be gone end of 2015. the a's have lots of other offensive options and could use help in the rotation to go one on one with some of the elite pitching rotations(i.e tigers, dodgers, etc). they sure have that rotation now. 4 solid acest hat would be #1 on many teams and a coulpe #5 legit pitchers to choose from such as chavez, pomeranz. just hope they dont choke like the past years.

Cespes was going to book it anyways. Word is Lester is going to Resign with the Red sox come this off season. So he's a rental, but A's are going all in NOW.

I love the trade.. regardless if lester is being "rented". Cespedes has a very low on base percentage which is somewhere around .300 .. we need to get someone that can get on base more as well as cover more ground in the outfield. Beane is going all in now because it's the best time to do so being the team with the best record in baseball and already having 3 "ace-like" starting pitchers. Cespedes is a free agent after next year, he hasn't been producing as much as they'd like.. so you ask why? Cespedes can always be replaced.. and the only way to beat anybody in the playoffs is mostly by out-pitching them. Pitching> hitting

Detroit just picked up David Price, booom. I can feel the choke happening in the neck area already.... cough cough
Seasons not over for us yet, and we're the last team the Tigers would want to face in the post season, the A's are the first team they'd love to see.

Cespedes would be gone after the 2015 season anyway. He'd get a big money contract elsewhere that the A's could NEVER match. He's fresh off his 2nd All-Star home run derby win, has some decent numbers and was worth something to Boston. Better to get something for him now rather than have him walk and get nothing. The A's got two good guys and money out of the deal. Any true A's fan knew this day was coming, it's all just a question of when.

Please, Detroit would walk all over SF right now. Price? Please, not even worries bout him. Verlander hasn't been this year as he was in years past. Our pitching is spot on, Detroit and especially SF don't wanna see us, pretty sure we won the series against SF this year, pretty sure the Dodgers just SWEPT y'all under a rug, I just don't see you taking the division over LA sorry.

How could you not be worried about price, verlander and scherzer? Thats the past three cy young winners from the AL. Those three pitchers are better than anyone the A's have.

I'm sorry all I could read from.your post is how you're an idiot. Again, didn't you just get swept by LA? Then almost swept by the Pirates? Pretty sure we, the Oakland Athletics have, and have maintained the BEST record, the BEST run differential in the MLB! As well as put 7 in the All Star game...

You're a dummy. Those are recent cy young winners. Do you know what the cy young is for? Youre a idiot if you think a win against any of those pitchers is an easy win.

No one said it would be easy, I just think it's funny how all you Giants fans always wanna be all up in our business instead of worrying about your own damn team.

Fact of the day Giants fans.
You didn't win ONE World Series title in Candle Stick.
The only thing Giants fans should be thinking about is how they are gonna beat that pitching staff down in LA. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
