Uribe has played for the Giants for the past two years on one-year deals. He was originally signed in 2009 to a minor-league deal and ended up making the team and providing a spark towards the end of the 2009 season. In this past offseason he was looking for a long-term deal but after their was no interest he resigned with the Giants on another one-year deal. This offseason, that is likely to not happen again as there is interest around the league.
The Giants are said to be interested in bringing him back but the question is on what terms. The Giants have a lot of young prospects in their farm system and they want to avoid blocking them with aging and overpaid veterans. Unless they can get Uribe for a two-year deal, similar to Mark DeRosa's, then I would expect them to let him sign elsewhere.
