The Oakland Athletics found a replacement for oft-injured shortstop Bobby Crosby in the fleet footed Orlando Cabrera:The A's deal with Cabrera is worth $4 million. He was said to be looking for about $9 million earlier in the offseason.
Bobby Crosby, Oakland's incumbent shortstop, is entering the final year of a deal that will pay him close to $5.25 million this year.
According to multiple published reports, the A's are also close to signing Nomar Garciaparra to a one year deal. Nomar would be expected to play a utility role, backing up at first and third base.
If the A's decide to trade Crosby, Nomar would likely fill in at shortstop as well.
