OAKLAND, Calif. — He still needs a translator, which is our problem, not his. That so far Yoenis Cespedes is limited to Spanish in his conversations or interviews doesn't matter when he steps to the plate. The bat proves multilingual and very effective.
Cespedes is the Cuban defector whom the Oakland Athletics signed to a four-year, $36 million contract in February. He has had a strained hand muscle and a strained hamstring, which made some people wonder about his body. They don't have to worry about his baseball.
