Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports reports that the Athletics will acquire outfielder Craig Gentry in a deal with the Rangers. There are other pieces involved in the deal, but Passan hears that prospect outfielder Michael Choice is one of the players headed back to Texas. Gentry, 30, is a .280/.355/.366 career hitter and provides quality defense and speed. He'll serve as a platoon player and insurance for the injury-prone Coco Crisp in center field.
