Beane might not be done. The A’s continue to monitor some high-profile Cuban infielders, particularly second baseman Hector Olivera, who is expected to be declared a free agent in the next few weeks. Oakland also has kept close tabs on Yoan Moncada, 19, but his price tag is expected to be out of Oakland’s reach, particularly because signing him will exceed the international spending limit, triggering a 100 percent tax. In effect, if Moncada signs for $40 million, he’ll cost the team $80 million overall.
