"The A's will re-sign center fielder Coco Crisp to a two-year contract worth $14 million, according to a report from ESPN's Buster Olney.

The deal has yet to be announced by the A's, but Crisp will get $6 million in 2012 and $7 million in 2013, Olney reports. The team holds a $7.5 million option for 2014 but can buy Crisp out for $1 million.

For a team that has traded away three All-Star pitchers — Gio Gonzalez, Trevor Cahill and Andrew Bailey — in the past month, the re-signing of at least one recognizable name should come as welcome news to the fan base."
