    A's spring training: Alex Wood sharp on mound as Oakland beats Seattle

    There were good reasons why pitcher Alex Wood wanted to sign with Oakland in free agency – even aside from the $8.5 million he'll receive from the A's this year. Not only would leaving the Giants and coming across the Bay allow him to become a starting pitcher again, but the 12-year veteran also relished the idea of becoming a mentor and leader on the young A's ballclub. “That part, I'm really excited about,” said Wood, who became the first A's starter to work into the fifth inning during Oakland's 4-2 spring training win over Seattle in Mesa, Ariz. on Tuesday.
