The Oakland Athletics are hanging tough in the AL West, but will get some help coming next week as both Yoenis Cespedes and Manny Ramirez could be activated for their upcoming series with the Kansas City Royals, according to the San Francisco Chronicle's John Shea.
BP went great for Cespedes, is the word. Seems headed for Sac tomorrow to join Manny. Together again
