  • A's News Clips, Monday, December 13, 2010 Oakland A's: Deal With
    A’s News Clips, Monday, December 13, 2010 Oakland A's: Deal with Matsui appears to be close By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune Multiple sources have indicated to Bay Area News Group that the A's and free-agent slugger Hideki Matsui are very close to finalizing a contract. An announcement could come as soon as Tuesday. Terms are not known, but it's believed the A's have been considering Matsui on a one-year deal. Team officials don't comment on free agents until deals are finalized, but A's general manager Billy Beane met with Matsui's agent, Arn Tellem, during last week's winter meetings, and those talks were fruitful. The A's are in search of a designated hitter to replace Jack Cust, who was non-tendered and signed with the Seattle Mariners last week. The left-handed hitting Matsui, 36, moved to the top of the A's DH wish list after Lance Berkman signed with the St. Louis Cardinals. Matsui hit .274 with 21 homers and 84 RBIs last season with the Los Angeles Angels. He spent his first seven major league seasons with the New York Yankees. The A's main priority this offseason is finding an impact hitter or two to inject some life into an offense that ranked near the bottom of the American League in every major category in 2010. To this point, Oakland has come up empty on players it has targeted this winter. The A's reportedly offered a five-year, $64 million contract to third baseman Adrian Beltre but withdrew the offer after it was clear Beltre was looking elsewhere.
