LESTER FOR CESPEDES: SOX & A'S FLIP

An amazing trade on the last day of the trade deadline. Lester for Cespedes...

WEEI has it here:

Trying to confirm, but hearing Lester and Gomes might be moving for Cespedes

Confirmed.

Wow.

So yeah, the Sox get quality in Yoenis Cespedes and give up Jon Lester and Jonny Gomes... no one is missing Gomes I assume.

According to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports:

Source: Boston also getting a competitive balance draft pick from Oakland. Boston will send cash to the A's.

So, there you have it. Lester is an Oakland A, and we get our first look at Cespedes in a Red Sox uniform tomorrow night when the Sox play the Yankees.

Carry on.
