A's, Reliever Craig Breslow Agree At $1.4 Million

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Left-handed reliever Craig Breslow and the Oakland Athletics have agreed to a $1.4 million, one-year contract, avoiding arbitration.

Breslow was the last of Oakland's arbitration-eligible players to agree. He also can earn a $25,000 performance bonus for finishing 25 games.

Breslow made a team-leading 75 appearances for the A's in 2010, going 4-4 with five saves and a 3.01 ERA. He made $425,000.
