| Player Notes |
| October 18, 2005 The Athletics exercised their 2006 contract option on Jay Payton Monday night, according to the AP. In 69 games with Oakland, Payton batted .269 with 13 homers and 42 RBI. |
| August 2, 2005 Jay Payton is earning more playing time due to his recent hot streak, according to the Contra Costa Times. He's hit five home runs with 14 RBI in the last 13 games. "If any of those guys go off you have to keep them in there every day," A's manager Ken Macha said. "Payton may be the guy." |
| July 16, 2005 Jay Payton hit a two-run homer on his first swing as a member of the A's Friday night. He started in left field and batted sixth, going 1-for-4 with two RBI. |
| July 13, 2005 Jay Payton will probably start in left field against most left-handed pitchers now that he's joined the A's. He will essentially be platooning with Bobby Kielty. |
| July 13, 2005 As expected, the A's acquired Jay Payton from the Red Sox in exchange for reliever Chad Bradford. Payton hit .263 with five home runs and 21 RBI in 133 at-bats this season for Boston and should fill a reserve outfield role in Oakland. |

| July 7, 2005 The Red Sox designated Jay Payton for assignment, according to the AP. The team has 10 days to release, trade or send Payton to the minors. He hit .263 with five homers and 21 RBI in 55 games with Boston. |
| May 25, 2005 Jay Payton didn't start on Wednesday in place of Trot Nixon against left-hander Ted Lilly because the Red Sox are going to face three southpaws in a row, according to the AP. Payton will start against lefty Gustavo Chacin on Thursday. |
| April 2, 2005 Jay Payton is expected to start the season opener for the Red Sox ahead of Trot Nixon because lefty Randy Johnson will be on the hill. Payton will probably bat seventh, according to the Boston Globe. |
| April 1, 2005 Jay Payton has played the last two days and is expected to start in right field in the season opener, according to the Boston Globe. He's been slowed by a bruised right hand. |
| March 26, 2005 Two sets of X-rays on Jay Payton revealed that his right hand had no breaks, according to the Boston Globe. He was hit by a pitch Thursday and should begin swinging a bat again tomorrow. |
| March 25, 2005 The Boston Globe reports that Jay Payton left yesterday's game with a bruised right hand. Results of X-rays were not immediately available. |
