Red Sox trade P Lester to Oakland for OF Cespedes

[bosoxlover12]

The Red Sox have traded P Jon Lester and OF Jonny Gomes to Oakland for their young phenom OF, Yoenis Cespedes.


I'm actually kinda happy about this

Wow

Holy fuck.

Love this for both teams honestly.

Ruined cespedes

So
Gray
Lester
Shark
Kazmir
Hammel?

Pretty sexy rotation to go with their balanced offense.

Yoenis is about to rake in Fenway though methinks.

Red Sox made out like bandits, got Cespedes and they're just gonna re-sign Lester in the off-season.

I'm hoping man. Ownership really doesn't want to fork over a 6 to 8 year deal.

boston was like stealing candy from a baby

They'll do it though.  They've got like $90M in payroll guaranteed for next season, that leaves them with a ton of money to play around with.  They've got a lot of holes to fill, but why not pay the guy who everybody in Boston loves and helped win you two World Series?

 

[bosoxlover12]

Only bad thing for Boston:

Apparently Yoenis has a clause in his deal that will make him a FA after next season

 

[Phil The Thrill]

I think this deal puts the A's over the top. Lester is pretty clutch in October.

Fucking Oakland

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

lmao

 

[Phil The Thrill]

lmao

?

 

[Thomas-Panda-Saxby]

Did this even happen?

 

[Teagz]

Nope, this is a dream.

It's Bosox's MLB The Show Franchise.
