LESTER and GOMES and $650K swapped for All-Star CESPEDES..."GIVE Me the RIGHTY or LEFTY" goes MLB Trade Deadline as the CARMINES get their OF and the Swingin' ELEPHANTS get another ARM with an Add-On at the Sale #AthleticsBiz #RedSoxBiz

One Man's Trash is another Man's Treasure and the Boston Red Sox must have Trader Jack McKeon somewhere making the calls as the Carmines are unloading everyone but the Clubhouse Manager for the Home Team at Fenway Park.

Rumored to be going "West" Red Sox Ace Jon Lester for the past week ends up in Green and Gold heading "West" not to the "City of Angels" but the Bay. Lester and Sox OF Jonny Gomes are Athletics and the A's send All-Star OF Yoenis Cespedes and that could be costly more for the Swingin' Elephants then the Carmines.

Lester brings a 6-4 W-L in the "Fight for October" and Two Fall Classic Chips with a sparkling 2.11 ERA in those 13 Starts. Gomes was and Add-On Sale to make the Transaction work as he brings humor, a Beard, and bad Ash, Maple, or Bamboo as he is currently hitting .234 with 6 Bombs and 32 RBIs.

All-Star Cespedes brings 17 Bombs (Red Sox OF had a combined 14 with Gomes) hitting .256 with 67 RBIs as the carmines sorely need a Bat in the OF and they also get a Cannon from Cespedes.

Now moving forward the A's sign Lester Long-Term 5-yrs $30 Million Guaranteed as he comes in 10-7 with a 2.52 ERA in 21 starts. The A's Starting Rotation is now Sonny Gray, Scott Kazmir, Jesse Chavez, Tommy Milone (Twins Pick Up), and Lester along with former Cubs All-Star RHP Jeff Smardzija. Lookout as the A's are going for it.      

Note: Red Sox looking for a dynamic OF settles for Cespedes as they had Dodgers Matt Kemp almost in Uniform as Dodgers GM Ned Colletti got Cold Feet when Matt Kemp got a Hot Bat...imagine how that works!
