A's get IF Rosales, too. Rosales will be a utility IF for the A's. Taveras won't be starting unless it's in AAA.
MLBTR says buck might be traded or released so don't assume on taveras
Posted via Mobile Device
There's nothing to assume. Taveras apparently won't be on the A's long (one way or another).

I'm told the A's are expected to hang onto Taveres for long, he's not in their plans.And in fact:That's the A's are NOT expected to hang onto Tavares for long.
She's the A's writer at the SF Chronicle.A's designated Tavares and Dana Eveland for assignment
Money isn't much of an issue really. The Cubs sent us $1 mil for Miles, which we did not send to the Reds. We sent Miles to the Reds and he's owed $2.7 mil. Taveres is owed $4 mil. A's lose $300k overall ($4 mil - $1 mil - $2.7 mil).

So it sounds like we got rid of Tavares, lost Rosales and got an equal Miles in return. But on top of that, if I am correct, we save $1.3 million on this deal! This covers more than half of Cabrera's contract.
Well done Jocketty!
This is truly one of those moves that the return seriously does not matter. This is addition by subtraction. The Reds won't have to entertain Baker's dream of Tavares batting leadoff nor do they need to stage a sham of a competition between him and Stubbs.
Thank you baseball gods.

I agree with you though mission, this is huge addition by subtraction. And we saved some money. Best of luck to Rosales, I hope he bodes well for Oakland. Dude will hustle for you...
Projection:
Our new whipping boy is our starting LF, whoever he may be.
