Giants, Sandoval Agree To Extension

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | January 17, 2012 at 6:24pm CDT

The Giants and Pablo Sandoval have agreed to a three-year extension, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle tweets. The deal is worth $17.15MM plus incentives, Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News tweets. Morgan Advisory Group represents the 25-year-old third baseman.

Pablo Sandoval - Giants

Sandoval, who was arbitration eligible for the first time this offseason, had a projected $3.2MM salary for 2012 and would have been in line for raises in 2013 and 2014 via the arbitration process. The deal doesn't delay his free agency — he's still on track to hit the open market after the 2014 season.

Sandoval has had two tremendous offensive seasons and one forgettable one since becoming a full-time player in 2009. He posted a .315/.357/.552 line with 23 home runs for the Giants in 2011 and owns a .307/.356/.501 line with 64 home runs in his career. The Venezuela native is easily recognizable because of his stocky physique (he's listed as 5'11" and 240 lbs) and colorful nickname: the Kung Fu Panda.

    Very solid deal!  If he can stay healthy (and fit), we can re-evaluate when he is 28.  And by 28, we can re-evaluate if he is really “28” as his birth certificate claims.  Overall, very solid hitter & improving defensively, great clubhouse guy by all accounts

    This kind of deal gives me faith that Evans and co know what they are doing with Timmy and Cain. Patience guys, this is a solid sign as were the other arb deals so far…

      Agree.  Giants ownership knows you have to invest money to make money.  You have to pay to have great players.  Giants can afford a total payroll matching Anaheim Angels, $140M to $150M per year, and still make money.  But only if they put a winning product on the field.

    Great deal for the Giants. Too bad they couldn’t buy a year or two of free agency too.

    Nice deal for both sides. Kung Fu Panda gets a bit of a bump this season and the Giants keep their best hitter at a team friendly, cost-controlled salary.

      Yet another in a long string of weak insults aimed across the bay by this character. Do you ever get tired of being ridiculed for your jealousy?

        What am I to be jealous about exactly? Ive been giving friendly jabs at them as far back as I can remember during the 80’s. The A’s are going through the same thing the giants were during the 90’s. So what’s your point? Get over it and stop taking this soo serious

          The point was that your insults hurled at all things Giants are obviously an attempt at eliciting a humorous reaction, something they never do.  If you are going to try and play the role of baseball’s equivalent of the bay area’s little brother poking fun at big bro, at least be entertaining.  A joke about a guy with a chubby physique and his eating habits?!?!?  Pure comic gold!

          As for the 90’s, it seems as if your memory is failing you.  Giants averaged 79 wins/season while the A’s averaged 77.3.  Nice try…

    Just some cost certainty to have a better picture of the payroll for the next few years in preparation for Cain and Lincecum.
