I wonder what Yoenis Cespedes is up to

They’ve given me no reason to believe they’ll turn it around but let’s just say 2023 Pete Alonso plays the role of 2015 Yoenis Cespedes….. #LGM

First 10 I thought of with no white Sox ties: there are obviously others Eddie Murray Manny machado Andrew mccutchen David Ortiz Adrian Beltre Yoenis Cespedes Rickey Henderson Dave Stewart Cecil Fielder Prince Fielder https://t.co/qTSAuNkUza

The incomplete list of guys the A’s have traded away or let walk in their prime: - Matt Olson - Matt Chapman - Marcus Semien - Mark Cahna - Chris Bassitt - Sean Manaea - Frankie Montas - Liam Hendricks - Josh Donaldson - Sean Murphy - Yoenis Cespedes (tbf this was for Lester)

Other key players over the last decade the #Athletics did not keep (some have struggled elsewhere then improved): * Marcus Semien * Blake Treinen * Sonny Gray * Jesus Luzardo * Josh Donaldson * Yoenis Cespedes But it's all the fault of the fans not supporting the team, right?

Trading Yoenis Cespedes was the apple in John Fisher’s garden of Eden. That 2014 A’s team was special. When they traded Yo, things took a turn, and by the end of the year it was clear the A’s missed their window. They never made a legitimate effort again.
