"The Oakland A's, normally one of the most frugal teams in baseball, are apparently loosening the purse strings. Just a day after signing highly touted Cuban prospect Yoenis Cespedes to a four-year, $36-million deal, the A's are reportedly considering moves for a pair of Ranger relievers.

According to a tweet by Buster Olney , the A's are in talks with the Rangers about a deal for RHP Koji Uehara, and are also considering the addition of LHP Mike Gonzalez to their bullpen."
