The Athletics could make an offer to free-agent slugger Hideki Matsui as early as this weekend, according to a report in The San Francisco Chronicle.
"They need offense, and he's got power," an executive said of Oakland and Matsui.
"He'll help them. But the problem for a team like the A's is they're always looking at their third or fourth choice rather than their No. 1 choice."
