With Chili Davis heading to Boston to become the Red Sox’s new hitting coach as reported by WEEI Boston, the A’s are likely to target Angels’ assistant hitting coach Dave Hansen, sources tell The Chronicle.

There is a chance, however that the Angels will promote Hansen to the primary hitting coach position should Don Baylor, who has had some health issues, opt for a different spot on the Angels staff.

Also on Oakland’s list: Dave Magadan, the onetime A’s player. Magadan has been on the Rangers’ staff – but Texas had asked for permission to interview Davis and has allowed Magadan permission to talk to the Yankees about their open position. Davis was very popular – he also interviewed with New York.
