During the A&E Network program "Jose Canseco: The Last Shot," Canseco said he, "Regrets mentioning players [as steroid users]. I never realized this was going to blow up and hurt so many people."

During the program, Canseco said he 'wanted revenge' on Major League Baseball because he believed he had been forced out of the game.

Chavez: A's Should Get Giambi

Oakland third baseman Eric Chavez believes that the team should go out and sign free agent Jason Giambi this winter.

"I think it's a great fit," Chavez said. "I don't know if it will happen or not, and I don't know what the shape of the team will be, but Jason has had productive seasons in New York, and there's no doubt he could still be a good hitter. And, he'd be a big hit in the clubhouse."

Oakland's Billy Beane has said he plans to add a bat this offseason.

"Every time I watch him, it seems like he comes up with a big hit or a home run," Chavez added.

A's Set To Re-Sign Ellis With Multi-Year Deal

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.
