  • A's News Clips, Tuesday, January 3, 2012 Coco Crisp Decides On
    A’s News Clips, Tuesday, January 3, 2012 Coco Crisp decides on next team, but won't say Susan Slusser, Chronicle Staff Writer Departures are the norm for the A's this winter, with pitchers Trevor Cahill, Gio Gonzalez and Craig Breslow all traded and free-agent outfielders Josh Willingham and David DeJesus officially leaving. One of the A's free-agent outfielders, however, remains on the team's radar. Oakland wants to bring back Coco Crisp, according to A's sources. With so many young pitchers on the staff, Crisp's defensive ability is especially valuable. Crisp's agent, Steve Comte, confirmed that he has continued to talk to the A's, and he said Monday that Crisp has decided where he will play this season. "Covelli has made up his mind," said Comte, using Crisp's given name. "Basically, we just have to let that team know." The Cubs and Dodgers are other teams recently linked to the Crisp. The Orioles also are interested, according to cbssports.com. Comte estimated that he has spoken to 13-14 teams about Crisp this winter. Crisp has said that he wants to play for a contender, and though the A's are clearly in rebuilding mode, Comte said, "They're intriguing. It will be interesting how it plays out. They've moved a tremendous amount of personnel, but there is a plan there." The A's have spoken to many free-agent outfielders, including onetime Oakland prospect Ryan Ludwick, according to a major-league source. Other possibilities include ex-Giant Cody Ross and Conor Jackson, whom the A's traded to Boston in late August.
