Cuban defector Yoennis Cespedes and the Oakland Athletics have agreed to a $36 million, four-year contract. Cespedes will earn $9 million per season. He can become a free agent at the end of the contract.
Cespedes played for Cuba in the 2009 World Baseball Classic and is projected to be ready for the majors. Cespedes said six teams were interested in signing him: the Marlins, Baltimore, Detroit, Cleveland and the Chicago Cubs and White Sox. In fact, we here at BYB were convinced that the Miami Marlins would have been the choice but, hey, even we have been known to get it wrong once in a while!
