<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <!--quotec--><b>Coco Crisp</b> 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.

Crisp, 30, tallied only 215 plate appearances with the Royals this year due to shoulder injuries. He had surgery on both shoulders during the summer and plans to be ready for Spring Training.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->


So, this kind of fucks us.

Wanna outbid the A's for him?

I just can't believe a guy coming off an injury shortened year with surgeries on both shoulders got $5M guaranteed, and what it means to a healthy guy like Byrd.
