The Giants and outfielder Gregor Blanco have agreed to a two-year, $7.5 million contract to avoid arbitration, according to a report from the San Francisco Chronicle, which cited Venezuelan outlet Lider en Deportes.
Blanco will shift to a backup role with this week's reported signing of Nori Aoki, but provides valuable experience at all three outfield positions and speed off the bench.
