Report: Giants and Andres Torres Agree to One-Year Deal

According to Mychael Urban of CSNBayArea.com, the Giants have come to agreement with their last arbitration eligible player.  Andres Torres and the Giants have reportedly agreed to a one-year, $2.1 million deal.

Torres was looking for a deal in the range of $2.6 million through the arbitration process while the Giants submitted a number of $1.8 million.  Torres was looking to take advantage of a career year in which he hit .268/.343./.479 as the starting center fielder for the Giants.  Whether this kind of production will continue is anyone’s guess but that’s why the Giants only signed him to a one-year deal.

The signing of Torres likely marks the end of the offseason for the Giants who had seven players eligible for arbitration.  Santiago Casilla ($1.3MM), Mike Fontenot ($1.05MM), Javier Lopez ($2.38MM), Ramon Ramirez ($1.65MM), Cody Ross ($6.30MM), and Jonathan Sanchez ($4.80MM) all came to agreement prior to the scheduled hearing and now Torres joins that bunch.
