Ryan Vogelsong gets one-year deal
Associated Press Updated: November 29, 2013, 4:42 PM ET
SAN FRANCISCO -- Right-hander Ryan Vogelsong is staying with the San
Francisco Giants, agreeing to terms on a one-year contract Friday.
Assistant general manager Bobby Evans said the deal is pending a physical,
expected to happen later next week.
The Giants declined to exercise Vogelsong's $6.5 million contract option for 2014
on Nov. 4, but the parties agreed to keep open the possibility of potential
negotiations down the road during free agency. General manager Brian Sabean and
Evans have been committed to keeping their pitching staff intact as best as
possible, which they have done while also adding right-hander Tim Hudson on $23
million, two-year contract Nov. 19.
The 36-year-old Vogelsong is determined to come back strong in 2014 following a
frustrating year.
He went 4-6 with a 5.73 ERA in 19 starts and 103 2/3 innings during an
injury-shortened season. He broke two bones in the right pinkie area of his
pitching hand and also dislocated a knuckle on a swing May 20 and underwent
surgery the next day. He had five pins inserted in his hand.
Vogelsong won 13 and 14 games the previous two seasons. The journeyman pitcher
became one of baseball's feel-good comeback stories in 2011, when he made the
All-Star team after joining the Giants' rotation first as a fill in for the
injured Barry Zito.
Vogelsong had toiled through three seasons in the Japanese League before Triple-A
stints in 2010 for the Phillies and Angels. In the Bay Area with the team that
originally drafted him in the fifth round in 1998, Vogelsong became a front-line
starter at last.
Invited to spring training in 2011 on a minor league deal, he went on to win the
team's "Willie Mac" Award -- named for Hall of Famer Willie McCovey and is voted
on by players, coaches and training staff for the most inspirational Giants
player on the field and in the clubhouse. Vogelsong set a career high for wins
while going 13-7 with a 2.71 ERA in 30 games and 28 starts.
He then received an $8.3 million, two-year contract in January 2012.
Vogelsong won three games during the 2012 postseason for the eventual World
Series champion Giants, including one during a 4-0 sweep of the Tigers for the
team's second championship in three years.
The Giants signed two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum to a $35 million
, two-year contract last month. Lefty Madison Bumgarner and right-hander Matt
Cain are signed to long-term deals along with catcher Buster Posey. In addition,
right fielder Hunter Pence received a $90 million, five-year contract before
the season ended. He played every game this year.
Zito's tenure with the Giants ended when the club declined to exercise his $18
million option for next year.
