SEATTLE -- A's catcher Bruce Maxwell is one step closer to putting his legal issues behind him.
Maxwell on Friday reached a plea agreement with the state of Arizona, pleading guilty to disorderly conduct. He will be sentenced June 4 to probation and community service.
"It looks like we're getting toward the end of this thing," A's manager Bob Melvin said, "and I know it's a big weight on his shoulder, but he's going through the proper steps to take care of this and move on, so hopefully that's the case.
