The San Francisco Giants and relief pitcher Jeremy Affeldt agreed on a two year contract Monday afternoon. Affeldt became the first free agent to sign with a new team this offseason when he agreed to the $8 million dollar contract.
The 29-year-old Affeldt pitched for the Cincinnati Reds last season, going 1-1 with a 3.33 ERA in a team-leading 74 appearances. He struck out 80 and walked 25 in 78 1/3 innings. The Giants will be counting on Affeldt throwing a lot of innings as they need a lot of help in the bullpen.
Expect some more signings by Giants management this off season.
