The San Francisco Giants signed “The Big Unit” Randy Johnson on Friday evening to a one year deal. The contract will pay Johnson $8 million. The contract also includes performance bonuses that could reach $2.5MM and award bonuses that could reach another $2.5MM.

It will be interesting to see how Johnson holds up through the year. He is in his forties but can still throw the ball pretty hard. I’m not sure how well he is throwing the slider these days but anything would be an improvement for the Giants rotation in my opinion.

The San Francisco Giants have signed free agent relief pitcher Bob Howry to a one year contract. The contract has a base value of $2.75 million but he can earn up to $4.25 million with incentives. Howry is an inning eater who has made over 75 appearances three of the last four years.

A little bit of a trade rumor that is swirling around this afternoon about the Giants as well. Jorge Cantu from the Florida Marlins would be coming to the Giants in return the Giants would be sending Jonathan Sanchez to the Marlins. I don’t like this trade at all for the Giants as Cantu really isn’t worth giving up Sanchez for in my opinion.
