Affeldt --->Giants

Via Fox Sports:

Reliever Jeremy Affeldt became the first of 171 free agents to agree to a contract, striking an $8 million, two-year deal Monday with the San Francisco Giants

Terms of the deal were first reported by FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal.

" Though just 29, Jeremy brings a solid veteran presence to our bullpen," Sabean said in a statement. "There is no doubt he has been able to shoulder a heavy workload. He has been to the postseason and will help bridge the gap between our young and talented starting staff and our closer, Brian Wilson, who is one of the best in the game. We are excited to have Jeremy as a Giant."

I find it strange that he signed so soon... and with the Giants. You think there would have been better teams interested.
