Athletics' Sam Fuld: Will be a close call to make 25-Man Roster.
Sam Fuld is likely on the fringe to make the A's Opening Day roster and may need an injury to find his way on the squad.The A's have made a number of acquisitions, including Chris Coghlan and Khris Davis, that could push Fuld off the 25-man roster. The A's do like Fuld's glove and speed and it is possible they could hang on to him as a 5th outfielder to use late in games on defense or on the base paths. The decision on Fuld will likely be made very near the start of the season and that assumes Coco Crisp is still healthy by then.

Athletics' Sam Fuld: Signs deal to avoid arbitration
Sam Fuld signed a one-year contract with the A's on Wednesday, avoiding arbitration, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.2015 was a low point for Fuld, who finished with a .197/.276/.293 batting line in 120 games. He logged 108 at-bats atop the order for Oakland while also seeing time at all three outfield spots, and it's his defensive versatility and speed that will likely keep him in the fourth-outfielder role to start 2016. That is, unless the team brings in more outfield talent.
