I know it's only for a year but that's a lot.SAN FRANCISCO -- The World Series champion San Francisco Giants have found their new shortstop, agreeing to terms with free agent Miguel Tejada on a US$6.5 million, one-year contract Tuesday.
The deal is pending a physical. The Giants didn't expect to make a formal announcement until later this week at the earliest, depending on how soon Tejada could get to town for his physical.
Tejada told The Associated Press in the Dominican Republic that he had agreed to the deal worth $6.5 million.
"I'm very happy and satisfied to reach an agreement with the San Francisco Giants," Tejada told the AP in Spanish. "I take pride in having the opportunity to compete for that team."
