OAKLAND -- A's general manager David Forst made it clear at FanFest on Sunday that the Athletics "will make an effort at" re-signing right fielder Josh Reddick, who Forst says has "kind of become the face of our team; somewhat the drive and energy of the club."
Reddick and the A's completed a one-year deal to settle his pending arbitration case a little over a week ago for $6.575 million. In the course of those negotiations, Forst says, "I have spoken to his agent about an extension. So it's something that we'll continue to talk about.
