The Cardinals and Pirates are the two teams "pushing hardest" for Jon Lester, sources tell FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal and Jon Morosi.

And there's Saturday's starter... Masterson is on the DL. He comes off the DL on Friday.

He comes off the DL on Friday. Ah, okay. I read somewhere that he wouldn't be able to start Saturday because of being on the DL, but wasn't sure when he was set to get off. I didn't even think you could trade players while they were on the DL.

I didn't even think you could trade players while they were on the DL. My understanding is that you can as long as the player gives his permission.

Yes he is...and he's Saturday's official announced starter. Not sure how I feel about his first start off the DL being against the team we need to beat most. Then again can't be worse than losing 12-1. To the Padres.

Despite trade rumors, White Sox pitcher John Danks is still penciled in to start today against the Tigers.
Closer Matt Lindstrom & RF Avasail Garcia are to begin rehab assignments in Triple-A Charlotte.
Closer Nate Jones to have Tommy John surgery, be out 12-to-18 months.

"BREAKING: the Athletics have acquired Jon Lester & Jonny Gomes for Yoenis Céspedes." Wow. Wow is right. Trading one of your stars for 2 months of 2 players? I know I wouldn't do it.

Is Billy Beane of his meds or something?
I mean, I doubted we would be himself after signing Scott Kazmir in the off-season, but this? Next thing you know, he will trade the entire rest of the team to get Clayton Kershaw and Felix Hernandez!

Just realized this about the Lester/Cespedes trade:
Beane trades his cleanup hitter for Lester, also gets Gomes. Beane then trades for Fuld.
Gomes and Fuld initially seem like a good platoon to replace Cespedes, until you realize that both hit LHP better than RHP. Mistake, right?
Well, Josh Reddick gets feasted on by LHP. Now, Fuld and Gomes go in against tough lefties, Reddick is in the lineup vs. righties, and statistically speaking, the A's have effectively replaced Cespedes.
...They have John Lester, and their offensive loss will be absolutely minimal.
Beane is good.

Beane is good. Yeah had to quote all this cause it's pretty dead on. With Hammel pitching like a single A guy since the trade he needed someone for the front end this year and he went and got it. Also with reports that Cespedes was bitching internally to everyone but the manager about having to play center, might have just rubbed everyone the wrong way in the clubhouse. Plus with him only being under control through the end of next year, he was able to trade him at max value. Just saw that the Cards aquired John Lackey not sure for what though. edit: Just read....Joe Kelly and Allen Craig for John Lackey? ? IDK that seems a bit steep. There's gotta be something else coming back to St. Louis
