It’s starting to look like Juan Uribe will not be signing with the San Francisco Giants. According to Buster Olney of ESPN.com, the Los Angeles Dodgers are “closing in on a three-year deal” with infielder Juan Uribe. The Dodgers are looking to have Uribe play second base primarily as the Dodgers already have Rafael Furcal at shortstop.
Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com is reporting that the deal is in the $21 million dollar range. A large increase over the one-year, $3.25 million dollar deal he signed last offseason with the Giants.
Whether you think the Giants should have signed him or not, it is clear that Uribe signing with the Dodgers is bad news for the Giants. The last thing we need to see is “jazz hands” as he hits a walk-off homerun.
