Oakland second baseman Mark Ellis has reportedly agreed to sign a multi-year deal to remain with the team.

"I'm very excited," Ellis said Saturday, according to San Francisco Chronicle. "Oakland has been a very good place for me and my family, and it's really a big relief to be back there."

Ellis has spent his first seven years in the big leagues with Oakland.

"To play in Oakland my whole career would be great," he told the Chronicle. "Not a lot of people get to do that in this game."

Ellis batted .233 with 12 home runs and 41 RBIs in 117 games for the A's this season before having arthroscopic surgery to repair cartilage on his right, throwing shoulder in September.
