[Miamarlin21]

Well I am happy that Boni will be our center fielder. He better not suck.

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

lol

[Miamarlin21]

lol. Yeah. Cespedes' deal is larger than what Cincinnati gave Aroldis Chapman.

[MiamiHomer]

Give me Soler!

[Miamarlin21]

I wonder if we will jump on Soler now. I'd guess probably not, but with this off-season, you never know.

[Erick]

Give me Soler!

Agreed. If we're going to get a Cuban, I'd much rather take a chance on him.

$9 million a year for only 4 years (his arbitration will be huge based on starting so high). No fucking thanks. This is a blessing. Thank god this didn't happen.

Doing crazy things on YouTube must be Billy Beane's new undervalued sabermetric stat.

He has spent $50 million on Crisp and Cespedes this offseason. I mean.... did he not see that Moneyball movie?

@DKnobler

A's really were mystery team on Cespedes. Other involved teams shocked that's where he's going

It's always the damn mystery team.

@DKnobler

Cespedes will be, by far, A's highest-paid player, at $9 mill. Coco Crisp next at $6 mill.

The 12 A's fans left are split on the deal.
