Instead, he got hit a few times. Giambi was plunked by a pitch three times Friday, prompting the plate umpire to issue a warning in the Oakland Athletics’ 12-1 win over the Seattle Mariners. “I got that out of the way,” Giambi said. “I was wondering when I would be able to swing the bat. I don’t sweat it, I know it was nothing on purpose.” Giambi was hit in the ...

FOXsports.com reported Friday night that the A's met Furcal's wishes for a four-year deal, but he balked at the value of the offer, which was believed to range between $35 million to $40 million.

Now the Oakland reliever is making plans to send some of his gear to Cooperstown.

That means they have 10 days to put Johnson on waivers, trade him or release him. The latter two are unlikely, and Johnson would have to clear waivers to be sent down. That's a process that takes three business days, but the A's do not have to run him through ...

Financial terms were not disclosed. MLB.com on Friday got confirmation from multiple sources that the A's and Braves are close to finalizing a deal that would send ...
