Despite trading the Cuban outfielder at Thursday's trade deadline, the Oakland Athletics will go ahead and give away Yoenis Cespedes t-shirts on Saturday.
The first 10,000 fans to arrive to O.co Coliseum were set to receive the La Potencia shirt - pictured in the post below - but Cespedes being shipped to Boston made it unclear if the promotion would continue.
Hours after the trade, the team's official Twitter account confirmed that the giveaway was still on, while also announcing a Josh Donaldson promotion for Thursday:
