Athletics Acquire Jon Lester
Oakland goes all-in on its World Series chances, as they trade for star outfielder Yoenis Cespedes to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for starting pitcher Jon Lester and outfielder Jonny Gomes. Lester, who was the ace on the Red Sox championship team a year ago and will be a free agent this offseason, joins a stacked Oakland rotation that now features Scott Kazmir, Jeff Samardijza, Sonny Gray, and Jesse Chavez. Meanwhile, the A's offense takes a bit of a hit, while Boston gets a middle-of-the-order run producer for 1 1/2 years at the least.
