According to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, the A’s may begin discussing a contract with Jason Giambi early next week. She says Giambi is looking for a three-year deal, but the A’s will probably top out at two years with an option. The Rays are also known to have interest.
Giambi, 38 in January, hit .247/.373/.502 in 565 plate appearances while earning $21MM in 2008.
