Athletics Negotiating With Bartolo Colon

By Zach Links | January 14, 2012 at 1:15pm CDT

The Athletics are in negotiations with Bartolo Colon, according to Buster Olney of ESPN.com (via Twitter).  Yesterday we learned that the pitcher has also attracted the interest of the Diamondbacks.

The 38-year-old right-hander turned in a 4.00 ERA with 7.4 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9 for the Yankees in 2011.  General Manager Brian Cashman expressed interest in bringing the veteran back this offseason, but the club's moves this week might satisfy their need for pitching.

    I hope Colon gets a good deal.  He deserves it.  He pitched very well for the Yankees last year until he started to run  out of gas in August.  He still can give a team like the A’s a lot of quality starts at a relatively inexpensive price probably about $3MM +/-.

    Colon as an Athletic? This is so ironic.

    Hoping for Jeff francis instead.  Colon would be a rental player until July when Beane flips him for a prospect.

    Why????

    Let the youngsters fill the roster and take their lumps now! I understand the A’s need to spend a little money to fill minimum roster spending, but I’d much rather the A’s spent the money on bullpen or backup outfielders.

    The A’s have become MLB’s flea market.

      If the A’s sign Colon, the chances of the Dbacks signing Harden go up drastically. Pick your poison.

    Brad Penny is the real wonder. Straight as an arrow FB in the upper 90’s, decent curve, yet always had had lousy K numbers.

    Wonder if he could do anything in Oakland? The large stadium could play well since he is a fly ball pitcher *if* could stay healthy.
