Thanks for everything, Yoenis. I'll always think of you as one of the most talented A's players I got to see in person
 
Mixed emotions...I don't know how to feel lol

Lol, I'm reading around that Billy is doing this because he's considering retiring and wants to win the World Series first.
 
Yo is seriously one of my fave A's ever :( wish the best for him and hope this trade works out for the better.
 
Yoenis... :(

I will always root for you my man, tantalizing talent, and was a great teammate who everyone in the organization liked.

Hope he gets a fat payday, you just know the RedSox are gonna love him bashing shots off/over the green monster
 
In a perfect world:

-World series this year
-Billy Re-signs Lackey to a longterm deal with WS money
-World series next year
-Cespedes re-signs with us for 2016

Billy is in it for the long con.

:hat

someone contact the Make A Wish Foundation
 
IDK about Yo coming back. Dude seems to love the spotlight, as much as it sickens me to say I can see him ending up a Yankee at some point :x
 
No I was talking about Lester yo is gone forever he and Lester will both be on the Sox next season
 
The A's now have approximately $33 mil guaranteed off the books after this season. That's a great pot to start extending Gray/Donny/Moss/Norris etc.
 
[COLOR=#red]Haven't been in here all season, y'all miss me??

I think it's a good trade and don't mind it at all... 4 reasons.

1. Ces was never going to stay and he was always going to be traded at some point. Which brings me to my second point.

2. He was traded right now instead of next year because say everyone gets hurt next year or they just pull a Rangers and blow the entire season. What is known, right now, is they are thee best team in baseball. And they Now have the very best rotation in baseball.

3. Gomes catching is better than Ces'... He wouldn't have to make some of those great throws if he would of just caught the ball.

4. This one doesn't matter on field but I wasn't the biggest Ces fan anyway. From the soul patch to constantly chasing pitches to only turning it on in prime time.

If Beane is going to retire... He deserves to do it this way. After everything the guy has done for the A's and having to deal with an owner like Wolff... He and the A's deserve a championship. He is all in. I love it.[/COLOR]

I really was hoping to trade him this off season to refill this murdered minor league program we now have..... when you're the best team in baseball you don't trade a major reason you're the best team in baseball

If Billy is leaving f**k him for clearing the cupboard on his way out

[COLOR=#red]Can't agree on him being a major reason the A's are the best in baseball. I just don't see it that way.

We will see down this stretch. [/COLOR]
 
Hopefully billy doesn't retire before the trade deadline. We're still missing a major piece. Tat being a SS/2B. Asdrubal Cabrera would be nice.
 
what the hell are the A's gonna do with their "la potencia" shirt giveaway now??
