I'll take that return and then go resign Lester in the offseason.

Cespedes is signed for $10.5m in 2015 and then becomes a free agent. Hopefully Oakland also throws in another prospect or two.

Cespedes is signed for $10.5mm this year and next year and is then arb eligible for the next two years. Cespedes is 28YO (in other words, we have control until he is 31YO).
edit: jmei is correct. Cespedes has a contractual provision where he may not be offered arbitration.

Cespedes is only signed through 2015. I don't see this as an ideal return.

Ugh can't complain too much but I'm not to crazy about that .300 OBP. Maybe well get a real prospect for Lackey

What a move by Ben Cherington.
Those of you who were whining...this shows, that BC was not lying and he has plans on going for it in 2015 too.

Cespedes is only signed through 2015. I don't see this as an ideal return. Signed sure but doesn't the team have rights for the first 6 years so he will go to arb?

We should get another player in this deal. We should be able to do better.

Jeff Passan @jeffpassan · 43s Source: Boston also getting a competitive balance draft pick from Oakland. Boston will send cash to the A's.

Meh, .737 OPS last year .767 OPS this year...about a .750 OPS over his last 900 at bats. Not all that exciting, we'll still suck next year.

It's a weird return, but I think its a solid upgrade in the outfield. For 10-12 starts, Yoenis Cespedes is a good value. I like it, but definitely not what I was expecting.
