A's, Braves discussing Kotsay


According David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Oakland A's and Atlanta Braves are discussing a deal that would send veteran outfielder Mark Kotsay to Atlanta for a mid-level prospect.


The deal would also require the A's to pay a significant amount of Kotsay's remaining $8M salary.


Kotsay says he's excited about the possibility of being in Atlanta saying "I love Bobby Cox, and I like Atlanta and the Braves, as far as the team and organization, the history they have. They've always been competitive. It's a great opportunity if this trade happens."
