Yea but they gave up one player who could have been a consistent corner stone for them in Yoenis Cespedes. I just think regardless its just a bad idea. But Beane has a money about him for a reason. They guy is smart.

He has one year left in his contract. The A's are not going to pay him free agency money. Get that through your head.

nah next year.
Oakland vs. Detroit is going to be epic... I just hope it's in the ALCS and not the DS.

Rays should've kept Price and tried to get that 2nd WC spot.
Could have traded him in the offseason and probably gotten more than what they did.

You over here talking about "cornerstones" and shyt. The A's obviously don't give shyt about that.Get what through my head?
i ask a question & somehow you catch feelings?

Ok? The As dont but thats suppose to change my mind. Yoenis can still be a cornerstone player. The As seem to be in win now mode. Just gotta hope they win it.

You stay trying to shyt on the A's though. Chances are they woulda ended up trading Cespedes at the deadline next year, so instead, they decided to go for it all this year. They have the best record in baseball, RIGHT NOW. Who knows what next year will bring. They clearly like their chances more with Lester added to the rotation, so they move him a year early. If they fall short? Well, again, they woulda ended up moving him at the deadline next year, so it is what it is.Get what through my head?

If I were an A's fan, I'd have ZERO problem with the move.

Ive never said one thing about the As till now. What in the fukk are you talking about bruh? Tell me when i stay shytting on the A's?
If the A's dont win the world series & Lester leaves.
Lester is going right back to Boston. We can't keep him. If we do I'll cry tears of joy like a bytch.

Well, you're certainly trying to shyt on 'em now. Obviously you're salty that they improved their team, but trying to act like Cespedes is a Trout/Cabrera/Stanton like cornerstone to a team is absurd.

Im not even close to shytting on them.
All i asked was what if the As dont win & Lester leaves? Is that shytting on them to you or me being salty?
Trout/Cabrera/Stanton are franchise changers. Yoenis isnt on their level but for the As yes he was one of thier cornerstone players. One of their better defensive outfielders & power bats plus is good on the bases.

then that's the way the cookie crumbles... btw i dont think anyone with any rational thought expects lester to stay in oakland.All i asked was what if the As dont win & Lester leaves? Is that shytting on them to you or me being salty?
i am 100% cool with this decision... in fact i commend this n*gga for trying when a lot of other GM's are too shook to do ANYTHING ie Amaro and Alderson etc.
playoffs are a crapshoot they will always be a crapshoot no changing that. but i definitely appreciate the front offcie taking a shot... when is a chance like this gonna come up again for a small market team like the a's? gotta at least try
