This was unexpected. Didn't think the A's were in the running at all.

Hoyer wasn't lying when he said the media was lying and there was still 15 teams interested and saying that the media was coving it wrong saying it was just the Marlins and the Cubs.

daddies3angels, shut the fuck up. You bitch every time we don't sign a free agent. H's not cheap just because he decided to focus on Soler instead and is willing to pay 27.5 Million on him per MLBTR.
Guess we should have signed Fielder, Pujols, Pena, and Ramirez, amiright?

There is a certain thing called plagiarism when you quote or paraphrase something from another source and don't make the source known.

Yeah, but it's kinda differemt. There are so many different reports and I'm not taking it as my own. I usually sum it all together in one paragraph. If I can find the report, I'll cite it.

I think you kind of have to do that as a common courtesy anyway, Waldo. You can report it and take the three seconds to "Ctrl-C Ctrl-V" into your post. As a writer you should also include sources in your articles as well. That way people know where you got your info from and you don't have to defend your credibility. Otherwise, if you just report something without a source, people will just think you're full of shit and will be justified in thinking so.

LOL ya but I kind of feel bad for the As it seems like every year they try to bring in a free agent like Beltre last year but they dont want to play in that shit hole of a stadium. Rumor was Beltre was offered more $$ by Oakland than Texas. Cespedes just wants money he doesnt care where he plays.

Lately I do ... if the post is about topic. But if I just add a little note or something, I probably wont. But you never know and I don't even know lol.
Like my last post ... there was really nothing to cite.

Also, the fact he was told he won't play in the minors and be in the majors from the beginning. Other teams told him he would have to start in the minors.

Yeah it is, but I think, what does Oakland have to lose? They will be a 3rd or 4th team place and could take the chance.

Him becoming a good player. He needs the minors this would be like me jumping from D3 basketball than transferring to Depaul and playing in the big east big difference in competition.
He needs to play some AAA or AA before jumping into the bigs IMO.

ya...oakland promising to put cespedes right in the majors is risky(for one thing, it may stunt his development)
but it also gives them leverage since no other team will realistically offer him that
