The Oakland Athletics would be foolish to sign Yoenis Cespedes.
That’s right. Everyone’s favorite free agent target would be nothing but a mistake waiting to happen for the A’s, and despite the fact that Cespedes is talented and terrific and an all-around superstar, there’s one thing standing in the way of him coming to the Athletics: money.
The A’s are a small market team. Yes, the story is that their owners are billionaires and just don’t spend money, etcetera, etcetera. But regardless of how one feels about the necessity of the club’s budget restrictions, they do exist.
