PHOENIX (AP) - A person with knowledge of the negotiations says free agent left-hander Hideki Okajima has reached agreement on a minor league contract with the Oakland Athletics. The deal is pending a physical, which could take place as soon as Tuesday. The person spoke Monday on condition on condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the agreement. Okajima spent 2007-11 with the Boston Red Sox, then signed a minor league deal with the New York Yankees and was released at the start of spring training when he failed a physical. The 37-year-old was 1-0 with a 4.32 ERA in 8 1-3 innings over seven relief appearances for Boston in 2011 and 8-1 with a 2.29 ERA in 34 relief appearances with Triple-A Pawtucket.
