Free-agent right-hander Edwin Jackson already has drawn interest from several teams, including the New York Yankees, Detroit Tigers, Cincinnati Reds and Toronto Blue Jays, a source told NBC Sports California on Tuesday.
The A's also have expressed serious interest in re-signing the 35-year-old, according to a source.
Jackson went 6-3 with a 3.33 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 17 starts for the A's last season, earning his 100th career win in the process. Even more impressive, the A's went 14-3 in his starts. For his efforts, Jackson was named a finalist for AL Comeback Player of the Year, along with Boston Red Sox pitcher David Price and Cleveland Indians outfielder Michael Brantley.
