Source: A's and Edwin Jackson not on same page in salary negotiations
Edwin Jackson reflects on 'very special' night in 100th winThe A's met with representatives for starting pitcher Edwin Jackson last week at the MLB Winter Meetings, but according to a source, the two sides are not close on potential salary figures.
Jackson, 35, would like to return to Oakland but has also drawn interest from about seven other teams, including the Mets, Reds, and Blue Jays. The right-hander is coming off a phenomenal bounce-back season, in which he went 6-3 with a 3.33 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 17 starts. The A's compiled a record of 14-3 in those starts.
