LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The A's will take their wish list to Walt Disney World this week, hoping to further their offseason doings within the frenzied confines of the Winter Meetings.

For weeks, the club's brain trust has openly expressed its desire to acquire a right-handed-hitting outfielder and its willingness to do so through trade or free agency -- a process that could seemingly accelerate in the coming days.

The annual Winter Meetings are set to begin Monday morning and run through Thursday's Rule 5 Draft, a four-day gathering that brings baseball operations executives from each team and a slew of agents together in the same setting.
