Andrew Bailey told Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald that he would welcome a trade to a contender.
"For me, it's interesting to see all the rumors out there," said Bailey. "Oakland has a great organization, but I think everyone knows they're kind of in rebuilding mode. As a player, you obviously want to win. If I had the opportunity to help another team win the World Series, that would be great." Most expect the A's will trade this offseason, but because he's under team control through 2014, the asking price will be significant. The Red Sox, Rangers, Reds and Angels are among the teams who have expressed interest in the 27-year-old closer.
