Wow, Oakland. Re-sign Beane until 2019, then grab Yoenis like this. Target 2014 and a new ballpark in San Jose? Intriguing for sure.

Worth noting: 4-year deal makes far likelier Cespedes starts in big leagues. Why waste any of it in the minors?

Cespedes' representatives felt "the A's wanted him more than anyone else"

The A's were one of the finalists for Alexei Ramirez, before he picked the White Sox prior to 2008 season

Gigantic upside for Cespedes. Big bust potential, too. A's have to play risks because they simply can't afford proven bats.

That isn't what is being reported. Dude gets an opt out after 4.

The Cespedes contract is $9 million a year, four years. He then can become a free agent.

Yeah, I see Rotoworld updated their blurb. That's stupid money.
