Update: The deal is done, its a 2-year pact worth $10-11 guranteed million plus incentives.
According to ESPN's Buster Olney, the Oakland Athletics are very close to re-signing 2B'man Mark Ellis. Ellis is a tremendous fielding second-baseman, and is at least average with the bat when healthy. He wasn't healthy last year though, as you can tell by his .233/.321/.373 line.
Mark and his family are very happy in Oakland, so a huge discount might be in effect for the Athletics. That would leave Orlando Hudson as the main second-baseman on the open market.
