Reports are coming out that this trade has happened. Wow. And double wow if Lester resigns with Boston after the season.

Boston also sends cash to the As and in return gets the As comp balance pick in the 2015 draft.

Oakland better win having made these trades. Two top prospects to the Cubs and Yoenis and a draft pick to Boston.

They'll have to move the Monster back to give Cespedes more throwing room.

Both are FA after this year. Please keep going all in, Oakland.

Cespedes has another year on his contract at a very team-friendly rate. Can't believe Oak game him up for Lester. Wow.

Squirrel, my guess is Beane saw the writing on the wall in that this was his best bet to win the series. They were not going to be able to extend or resign Cespedes, as he would command way more in salary than the owners would let Beane spend on one player. What's going to be interesting is where Lester ends up next year since he will be a free agent after this season. I'm guessing he resigns with Boston.

He can't be offered a qualifying offer as part of his contract, so he was going to walk without them getting anything for him after next year.

Lester has to love this. Now no QO. Bigger payday for him.

Just think how badly he will be able to misplay balls of that wall. What a great arm, but what a horrible defender otherwise.

When did they start allowing trades for draft picks?

That was one of the things MLB had... no trading picks or players within 1 year of signing, IIRC.

can't trade any picks other than competitive balance IIRC and those only began in 2013.

A few weeks ago, the Astros traded 1-1 in 2014 for 1-2 in 2015, so it's legit.

Random between round picks.
