I don’t usually write about the Oakland A’s. The Oakland A’s are irrelevant. The Oakland A’s made themselves irrelevant — they are auto-irrelevanters. Today I am writing about the Oakland A’s. What’s up with that? Word has come out that the A’s signed an outfielder named Yoenis Cespedes. This is supposed to be a big deal. Cespedes is a Cuban defector. That’s kind of interesting. He never has played in the big leagues or faced big-league pitching. The A’s are paying him $36 million over four years, anyway. Wow!
