Was in the car with an A's fan when he found out about the deal. He loved it, actually. They've got outfield depth and weren't going to be able to keep Cespedes after he becomes a FA anyway. Beane's going all in, it's WS or bust this year for Oakland. Lester has said he wants to go back to Boston when he hits FA, so if they don't win it this year, it essentially becomes Oakland giving Cespedes for 2015.
