A's Sign Outfielder Coco Crisp

After a year with the Kansas City Royals, Covelli "Coco" Crisp is on the move again, signing with the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday:

It's now official -- the A's signed center fielder Coco Crisp to a one-year deal with a club option for 2011, the team announced Wednesday.

The deal is reportedly worth $4.5 million and news of the A's and Crisp nearing an agreement was originally reported on Sunday. Crisp, who had surgery on both shoulders this year, passed his physical on Tuesday to make the signing official.

Crisp was injured for the majority of the 2009 season. He batted just .228 in 49 games in his first and only season with the Royals after being traded by the Boston Red Sox. The Royals had an $8 million club option for Crisp for 2010, but decided against exercising it, making him a free agent.
