Its probably worth pointing out they're sending him to the place they can be most certain is only renting, but still ... he could have turned into a much better long term asset.

Yeah, its an interesting trade. Cespedes appears to a bit more "name" than "results", but who knows, maybe the park in Boston helps him a lot. He can also by-pass arbitration and go straight to free agency himself this fall too, I think (way his contract is set up or something or other)? So you have to imagine R. Sox sign him (or even trade him), but if he waked...
And yeah, looking like Milone is going....wonder what the Twins send back?
Edit apparently...

10:01am: Sam Fuld is heading back to the A’s in the trade, according to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN (on Twitter). Interestingly, the Twins claimed Fuld off waivers from Oakland earlier this year when he was designated for assignment. Presumably, he can form some form of platoon with the newly acquired Jonny Gomes in order to fill in for the now-departed Yoenis Cespedes.
