Olneys blog today has a list of guys who he thinks could be traded this offseason. Cespedas is mentioned and I was curious how you would fell about him. He's not having a great year but his 2012 was outstanding. He could kill it in Fenway but would be expensive. Any ideas on cost or what you would be comfortable sending out west?

Yoenis Cespedes, Oakland Athletics: This is total speculation on my part, but remember that Oakland has typically looked to move its veterans two years or more from free agency. Cespedes is eligible to come a free agent after the 2015 season, and his trade value will never be higher than this winter. He is 27 years old, and will make $10.5 million for each of the next two seasons, and while his injury history is somewhat daunting, he would be one of the better power hitters available if the Athletics marketed him.
