According to Mychael Urban, the A's have scheduled a press conference for 1pm today. Have they signed Ben Sheets? Obviously this is just rumors and guessing, but it is a real possibility. Sources have also confirmed to Urban that the A's offer to Sheets is definitely in the range that Sheets is looking for.
I am leaning to thinking that this conference is related to a Sheets signing. I am not trying to be pessimistic, it is just how I am feeling. Tim Dierkes of MLBTR relates one scouts opinion that the A's are in a great position as well as Sheets because they get a great pitcher that, even if they tank in the AL West, they could trade by the deadline for prospects. Stay tuned for 1pm.
