A person with knowledge of the negotiations says the Oakland Athletics and right-hander Bartolo Colon have reached agreement on a one-year deal that will bolster the team's depleted rotation. Colon's contract is pending a physical, the person said Sunday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the team had yet to make a formal announcement. The 38-year-old Colon, a former A's nemesis during his four-year stint with the AL West rival Angels from 2004-07, went 8-10 in 29 appearances and 26 starts last season for the New York Yankees in his 14th big league season. He won the 2005 AL Cy Young Award. Last month, the A's traded away starter Trevor Cahill to the Arizona Diamondbacks and All-Star lefty Gio Gonzalez to the Nationals.
