Tony Clark signs on with the Padres for a 1 year $900,000 deal
Quote:
A's agreed to terms with first baseman Mike Sweeney on a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
Sweeney spent 13 seasons in Kansas City, making $11 million in each of the past five years, but apparently couldn't get a major league deal on the open market after two straight injury wrecked seasons. He'll likely have to settle for platooning against left-handed pitching in Oakland, but between Daric Barton, Jack Cust and Dan Johnson there should be plenty of chances for Sweeney to get into the lineup against southpaws.
