Kung Fu Panda is back with the San Francisco Giants. One year deal.
Pablo Sandoval staying with Giants on minor league deal
SAN FRANCISCO -- Kung Fu Panda is back with the San Francisco Giants.
Pablo Sandoval agreed to a minor league contact with the Giants and would get a one-year, $2 million deal if he's added to the 40-man roster.
The 2012 World Series MVP, who thought last summer that his time with San Francisco could be over, would have the chance to earn $750,000 in performance bonuses.
Sandoval, 33, is working back from season-ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in early September. Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles determined Sandoval needed the procedure on his ulnar collateral ligament, and the third baseman has said he is determined to come back even stronger in 2020.
The progress and health status of the switch-hitter will be more clear come spring training. Pitchers and catchers report to Scottsdale Stadium in Arizona on Feb. 11.
