On Thursday morning, Oakland General Manager Billy Beane completed a surprising deal that sent popular outfielder Nick Swisher to the White Sox in exchange for three top-notch prospects.

"Dude, it's unbelievable," A's third baseman Eric Chavez said with a laugh. "I was like, 'Well, we are going young. Wait.....Swisher IS young.'"

"We're going with the youth movement, baby. At least Billy is commited to it. He's not half-assing it."
