A's Not Interested In Pierre
11:50am: Slusser says A's sources are thoroughly denying this rumor. It was fun while it lasted! She is also skeptical of the Mark Ellis rumblings.
8:01am: There's a headline I didn't expect to write, given that the Dodgers' Juan Pierre comes with a $36.5MM commitment over the next four years. Susan Slusser reports that the Athletics have inquired on him, proof that they may be looking to acquire a veteran center fielder.
It doesn't make a whole lot of sense on the surface. Either the A's would want the Dodgers to absorb a significant portion of the money, or they'd like to pass back their own questionable contract. Front row center would be Eric Chavez, owed $37MM over the next three seasons. Chavez's ten and five no-trade rights haven't kicked in yet, and the Dodgers aren't among the teams on his current limited clause. The oft-injured Chavez isn't expected to be ready for Opening Day.
