Foulke ends his retirement, signs with A's


Keith Foulke, who everyone thought had retired, apparently isn't ready to call it quits just yet.


The former Red Sox closer signed a 1-year $700,000 deal with the Oakland A's on Friday. "I decided I was not ready to leave baseball," Foulke said. "I started throwing again last November. It didn't take long to figure out I needed to give my knees a year. It was December before I could throw pain-free with my mechanics."


Foulke also received offers from the Arizona Diamondbacks, San Diego Padres and New York Mets.
