According to MLBTR:
Coco Crisp Nearing Agreement With Athletics: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com
I would guess a trade must be in the works because now the A's have too many OF. Perhaps newly acquired Michael Taylor starts in AAA. Regardless, I would expect Ryan Sweeney and Rajai Davis to start along with Crisp. Oh, and I assume that's $5 mil with incentives.Coco Crisp is nearing an agreement with the Athletics on a one-year deal in the $5MM range, MLBTR has learned. The deal will include an option for 2011. Crisp had been talking to the Padres as well, and his agent Steve Comte expected a decision before Christmas.
