"The A's continued their offseason overhaul by finalizing a one-year deal with outfielder Jonny Gomes on Thursday, and adding Manny Ramirez to the mix reportedly wouldn't bother co-owner Lew Wolff one bit.

Wolff told the San Francisco Chronicle on Thursday that he would "

have no problems with that on (Ramirez's) talent and his ability."

Ramirez, a 12-time All-Star, is attempting a comeback and recently was linked to the A's in a report by ESPN Desportes.

He can't play for anyone until the last week in May while he serves a 50-game suspension for violating the league's drug policy last season. Wolff told the Chronicle the suspension wouldn't reduce the A's interest, but he said ultimately it would be general manager Billy Beane's decision to bring in Ramirez.

"Why wouldn't we (be interested) if a guy serves his term?" Wolff said. "I wouldn't want to not have a player because he made a mistake, but that's really up to Billy."

The deal with Gomes reportedly is worth $1 million, with $200,000 in incentives."
