He turned 27 a few months ago and logged more than 700 innings before making his MLB debut last September. The Giants drafted him in the 12th round of the 2009 MLB draft, out of East Carolina University. He spent the next six seasons working his way up through the Giants' farm system before finally getting the call to the bigs late last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were plenty of bumps along the way. After being promoted to the AAA Fresno Grizzlies during the 2013 season, Heston struggled, posting a 5.80 ERA. He was released on July 21 to make room for Jeff Francoeur, after which he was available for any team to pick up. None did, and three days later, the Giants re-signed him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NY Times \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/10/sports/baseball/giants-chris-heston-pitches-no-hitter-against-mets.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">described Heston\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>He was an unheralded prospect and a stopgap starter who did not even make the team out of spring training. As soon as Heston arrived with Class AAA Sacramento in April, though, the Giants called him right back, inserting him into the rotation after Matt Cain went down with an injury.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And his style Tuesday night against the Mets was not one of typical overpowering dominance:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The formula was a steady diet of sinkers, changeups and curveballs, all of various speeds and meticulous command, bestowing a velocity that rarely eclipsed 90 m.p.h.

From \u003ca href=\"http://grantland.com/the-triangle/2015-mlb-chris-heston-no-hitter-giants-mets-lightning-round/\" target=\"_blank\">Grantland\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“In the 205 nine-inning no-hitters that preceded Heston’s from 1914 to 2014, no pitcher — not even the wild ones who walked eight or nine, like Dock Ellis, Edwin Jackson, and A.J. Burnett — had hit more than two batters. Heston hit three.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>- Heston finished off his no-hitter with three strikeouts in the ninth inning, something that hasn’t been done since 1965 when, you guessed it, Sandy Koufax finished off a perfect game by striking out three Cubs batters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Posey's been there before. According to Baseball Reference, Buster Posey becomes the 13th catcher to catch three no-hitters, joining the likes of Yogi Berra and Roy Campanella. Jason Varitek and oldtime Chicago White Sox catcher Ray Schalk have each caught four, the most ever. At this rate, Posey will pass them in the summer of 2017. #BusterHugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Posey told The New York Times that Heston only shook him off once all game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Not just a good night on the mound.

This was all so brand new and bewildering to him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomsen was Heston's baseball coach from Palm Bay West Little League all the way through Bayside High in Brevard County, Florida. Tuesday night's 5-0 no-hit win over the Mets was the first time he saw Heston pitch as a major leaguer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I picked the right night to go,\" said Thomsen, a New York native who looked at the Giants schedule a month ago and invented a reason to visit family. \"Oh, man.

He turned 27 a few months ago and logged more than 700 innings before making his MLB debut last September. The Giants drafted him in the 12th round of the 2009 MLB draft, out of East Carolina University. He spent the next six seasons working his way up through the Giants' farm system before finally getting the call to the bigs late last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were plenty of bumps along the way. After being promoted to the AAA Fresno Grizzlies during the 2013 season, Heston struggled, posting a 5.80 ERA. He was released on July 21 to make room for Jeff Francoeur, after which he was available for any team to pick up. None did, and three days later, the Giants re-signed him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NY Times \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/10/sports/baseball/giants-chris-heston-pitches-no-hitter-against-mets.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">described Heston\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>He was an unheralded prospect and a stopgap starter who did not even make the team out of spring training. As soon as Heston arrived with Class AAA Sacramento in April, though, the Giants called him right back, inserting him into the rotation after Matt Cain went down with an injury.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And his style Tuesday night against the Mets was not one of typical overpowering dominance:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The formula was a steady diet of sinkers, changeups and curveballs, all of various speeds and meticulous command, bestowing a velocity that rarely eclipsed 90 m.p.h. But his pitches danced and darted and, most effectively, disappeared at the last instant.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch4>Five in Seven Years: Recent Giants No-hitters\u003c/h4>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>6/9/2015- Chris Heston vs NY Mets\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>6/25/2014- Tim Lincecum vs SD Padres\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>7/13/2013- Tim Lincecum vs SD Padres\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>6/13/2012- Matt Cain vs HOU Astros\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>7/10/2009- Jonathan Sanchez vs SD Padres\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp> \u003cbr>\nIn addition to his long and winding road to the bigs, Heston’s gem, the 286th no-hitter in MLB history according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/No_hitter\" target=\"_blank\">Baseball-Reference.com\u003c/a>, had plenty of statistical oddities as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-The only blemish on Heston’s stat-line: three hit batters. From \u003ca href=\"http://grantland.com/the-triangle/2015-mlb-chris-heston-no-hitter-giants-mets-lightning-round/\" target=\"_blank\">Grantland\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“In the 205 nine-inning no-hitters that preceded Heston’s from 1914 to 2014, no pitcher — not even the wild ones who walked eight or nine, like Dock Ellis, Edwin Jackson, and A.J. Burnett — had hit more than two batters. Heston hit three.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>- Heston finished off his no-hitter with three strikeouts in the ninth inning, something that hasn’t been done since 1965 when, you guessed it, Sandy Koufax finished off a perfect game by striking out three Cubs batters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Posey's been there before. According to Baseball Reference, Buster Posey becomes the 13th catcher to catch three no-hitters, joining the likes of Yogi Berra and Roy Campanella. Jason Varitek and oldtime Chicago White Sox catcher Ray Schalk have each caught four, the most ever. At this rate, Posey will pass them in the summer of 2017. #BusterHugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Posey told The New York Times that Heston only shook him off once all game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Not just a good night on the mound. Heston had two hits and two RBIs — a two-run single in the fourth and a single in the eighth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>-Another \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/giants/ci_28286809/hestons-prep-coach-has-tearful-night-at-citi\" target=\"_blank\">great anecdote from the game\u003c/a>, courtesy of Andrew Baggarly and the San Jose Mercury News:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Brad Thomsen wasn't sure whether to dab his eyes or clutch his chest. This was all so brand new and bewildering to him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomsen was Heston's baseball coach from Palm Bay West Little League all the way through Bayside High in Brevard County, Florida. Tuesday night's 5-0 no-hit win over the Mets was the first time he saw Heston pitch as a major leaguer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I picked the right night to go,\" said Thomsen, a New York native who looked at the Giants schedule a month ago and invented a reason to visit family. \"Oh, man. I had tears in my eyes. My blood pressure, my heart rate was up in that ninth inning. It was so surreal out there.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>Anyone who is a student of our national pastime, San Francisco or meteorology knows that a gust of wind blew scrawny yet effective junkball pitcher Stu Miller off the mound during the 1961 All-Star Game at Candlestick Park. That highly localized squall resulted in perhaps the most famous balk call in baseball history, contributing to a game-tying ninth-inning rally by the American League.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller, in the midst of a great year in relief for the Giants, eventually got the win, along with a (literally) blown save.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">The Stu Miller incident remains in that hazy realm where memory, exaggeration and the desire for the best possible story come together to forge baseball lore.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But while he was never perceived as the protagonist of a Grade A baseball tragedy in the manner of \u003ca href=\"http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/sports/baseball/fallout-of-bobby-thomsons-famed-home-run-fractures/nL9KX/\" target=\"_blank\">Ralph Branca\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18caPNisP2U\" target=\"_blank\">Bill Buckner\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/23/sports/baseball/23vecsey.html\" target=\"_blank\">Johnny Pesky\u003c/a>, the image of Miller being whipped about by Candlestick wind pixies, a veritable plaything of the elements, was forever cemented in the public’s imagination. And though Miller twice led the league in saves and ended his 16-year \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/millest01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">career\u003c/a> with a stingy 3.24 ERA, there was never any doubt that upon his passing, the Candlestick incident would feature prominently in any obituary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so it was on Monday, when news came that the 87-year-old had died at his Sacramento-area home. The headline in the New York Times was typical:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/07/sports/baseball/stu-miller-dies-at-87-blown-off-mound-in-all-star-game.html\" target=\"_blank\">\"Stu Miller, All-Star Who Committed a Windblown Balk, Dies at 87.\"\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Miller Responds\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best description of Miller I ever read comes from “\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_American_Baseball_Card_Flipping,_Trading_and_Bubble_Gum_Book\" target=\"_blank\">The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book\u003c/a>,” by Brendan C. Boyd and Fred C. Harris:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Stu Miller thew the ultimate banana ball. You had time for a Coke and sandwich while waiting for his fastball to arrive. His pitches took so long to get up to the plate in fact that they occasionally even appeared to be going backward. Watching him from behind the third base dugout was guaranteed to make your palms itch and your seat squirm. You wanted to hightail it on down to the bat rack and have a rip at the little guy yourself. It was all an optical illusion of course. You couldn’t have hit him and neither could very many real ballplayers. His pitches may have looked like custard pies on the way up to the plate but they had a tendency to disappear when they arrived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all caught up with him in the 1961 All-Star Game, though.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While pitching into the aberrated air currents of San Francisco’s Candlestick Park, he became the first pitcher in modern baseball history to be blown off the mound by a gust of wind. Stick that in your old ephus ball Stu.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 4 p.m.:\u003c/strong> So there's no doubt any longer about Pablo Sandoval's future, which will now be in a Boston Red Sox uniform. Here's a statement from the Giants:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Pablo Sandoval has been a key member of the Giants since breaking into the Majors with us in 2008. He has been with us through some of the greatest moments in San Francisco Giants history — including all three World Series Championships. We will never forget his World Series MVP performance in 2012 and his numerous contributions to the 2014 Championship. His connection with Giants fans — young and old — is truly special and he will be greatly missed. We wish him nothing but the best in Boston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We are extremely proud of what our team accomplished in 2014 and we look forward to continuing to invest in and strengthen our team for next season.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 10:55 a.m.:\u003c/strong> The Associated Press says it has a source \u003ca href=\"http://bigstory.ap.org/article/fda80634b01e4df0a303b47e2f099b0b/ap-source-sandoval-reaches-deal-red-sox\" target=\"_blank\">confirming the Panda-to-Boston story\u003c/a>. The report comes with a marked lack of detail:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A person with knowledge of the deal says free agent third baseman Pablo Sandoval and the Boston Red Sox have agreed to a multiyear contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because the Red Sox had not announced the agreement.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Boston Globe has published its own \u003ca href=\"http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2014/11/24/report-red-sox-sign-hanley-ramirez/HbkvnSt1qxYbFhQrek2GxO/story.html\" target=\"_blank\">unnamed sources stor\u003c/a>y, which pairs the Sandoval deal with a report that the Red Sox are also signing Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Free agents Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval have both agreed to deals with the Red Sox, a major league source confirmed to the Globe Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com reported that Ramirez, a shortstop, will arrive in Boston on Monday to finalize a five-year, $90 million deal. On Monday morning, CBS Sports’s Jon Heyman reported Sandoval’s five-year deal was worth nearly $100 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both deals are pending a physical. One of the two could be finalized on Monday.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post:\u003c/strong> The \u003ca href=\"http://baseballhall.org/\" target=\"_blank\">National Baseball Hall of Fame\u003c/a> is unveiling an exhibit Monday honoring the World Series champion San Francisco Giants. Among the items on display: a bat used by third baseman Pablo Sandoval, who last month set a postseason record with 26 hits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His final hit in that memorable October, a double in Game 7 of the World Series against the Kansas City Royals, may have been Sandoval's last in a Giants uniform -- for a good long while, anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because the Boston Red Sox have reportedly won a brief but intense bidding war for the 28-year-old's services. \u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/boston/mlb/story/_/id/11929658/boston-red-sox-pablo-sandoval-agree-deal\" target=\"_blank\">ESPN\u003c/a> and CBS Sports, among other outlets, are reporting the Bosox will sign Sandoval on Monday to a five-year contract worth between $95 million and $100 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let us note that so far, none of this is confirmed from the Red Sox, from Sandoval or from his agent. That hasn't stopped the Twittersphere from heating up. To wit:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/pam_njissang/status/536926783833001985\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/jaycooke/status/536955045854453760\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other quarters, calmer heads prevail. Emphasizing the unknowns in the situation is the \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/giants/2014/11/24/sandoval-appears-boston-bound-plus-details-of-sf-giants-offer/\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Chronicle's Henry Schulman\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>At the moment, the Giants know what you and I know, that a lot of media reports this morning suggest that Pablo Sandoval has agreed to sign with the Boston Red Sox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Giants also say they have gotten no formal word from Sandoval’s agents that a deal with the Red Sox is done. One of those agents, Gustavo Vasquez, told The Chronicle’s John Shea the same thing within the hour. Asked if Sandoval had agreed to deal with Boston, even in principal, Vasquez replied, “No.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve heard that the Red Sox have offered the Panda deal roughly worth $100 million over five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve also just learned that the Giants’ offer was five years, $95 million — $5 million more than they gave Hunter Pence — and had conveyed a willingness to bump it to $100 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Sandoval indeed leaves San Francisco for Boston for an identical or slightly higher offer, you have to wonder if the 28-year-old third baseman really did have a desire to part ways with the Giants even before the bidding began, perhaps hurt or angered by the three-year, $40 million offer they made before the season began.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

Here's a statement from the Giants:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Pablo Sandoval has been a key member of the Giants since breaking into the Majors with us in 2008. He has been with us through some of the greatest moments in San Francisco Giants history — including all three World Series Championships. We will never forget his World Series MVP performance in 2012 and his numerous contributions to the 2014 Championship. His connection with Giants fans — young and old — is truly special and he will be greatly missed. We wish him nothing but the best in Boston.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We are extremely proud of what our team accomplished in 2014 and we look forward to continuing to invest in and strengthen our team for next season.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 10:55 a.m.:\u003c/strong> The Associated Press says it has a source \u003ca href=\"http://bigstory.ap.org/article/fda80634b01e4df0a303b47e2f099b0b/ap-source-sandoval-reaches-deal-red-sox\" target=\"_blank\">confirming the Panda-to-Boston story\u003c/a>. The report comes with a marked lack of detail:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A person with knowledge of the deal says free agent third baseman Pablo Sandoval and the Boston Red Sox have agreed to a multiyear contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because the Red Sox had not announced the agreement.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Boston Globe has published its own \u003ca href=\"http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2014/11/24/report-red-sox-sign-hanley-ramirez/HbkvnSt1qxYbFhQrek2GxO/story.html\" target=\"_blank\">unnamed sources stor\u003c/a>y, which pairs the Sandoval deal with a report that the Red Sox are also signing Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Free agents Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval have both agreed to deals with the Red Sox, a major league source confirmed to the Globe Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com reported that Ramirez, a shortstop, will arrive in Boston on Monday to finalize a five-year, $90 million deal. On Monday morning, CBS Sports’s Jon Heyman reported Sandoval’s five-year deal was worth nearly $100 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both deals are pending a physical. One of the two could be finalized on Monday.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post:\u003c/strong> The \u003ca href=\"http://baseballhall.org/\" target=\"_blank\">National Baseball Hall of Fame\u003c/a> is unveiling an exhibit Monday honoring the World Series champion San Francisco Giants. Among the items on display: a bat used by third baseman Pablo Sandoval, who last month set a postseason record with 26 hits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His final hit in that memorable October, a double in Game 7 of the World Series against the Kansas City Royals, may have been Sandoval's last in a Giants uniform -- for a good long while, anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

One of those agents, Gustavo Vasquez, told The Chronicle’s John Shea the same thing within the hour. Asked if Sandoval had agreed to deal with Boston, even in principal, Vasquez replied, “No.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve heard that the Red Sox have offered the Panda deal roughly worth $100 million over five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve also just learned that the Giants’ offer was five years, $95 million — $5 million more than they gave Hunter Pence — and had conveyed a willingness to bump it to $100 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Sandoval indeed leaves San Francisco for Boston for an identical or slightly higher offer, you have to wonder if the 28-year-old third baseman really did have a desire to part ways with the Giants even before the bidding began, perhaps hurt or angered by the three-year, $40 million offer they made before the season began.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Ken Rosenthal of the MLB Network, at least, thinks the Giants occupy the catbird seat when it comes to landing Pablo:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/532529730419838977\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose Mercury News columnist Tim Kawakami struck an optimistic note in his recent column \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/tim-kawakami/ci_26922410/kawakami-five-reasons-pablo-sandoval-stays-giants\" target=\"_blank\">Five reasons Pablo Sandoval stays with the Giants\u003c/a>.\" Some of Kawakami's reasoning:\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>Sandoval has had a ball in San Francisco, so he wouldn't leave unless some other team way overpays, which doesn't seem likely right now, considering his mediocre regular-season stats.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>He's proved he can play third base \"for a while, maybe even through 2019.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Because he has been more valuable in the playoffs than the regular season, he is going to attract mostly the attention of teams who play into the postseason more often. And the Giants, as we know, are three for the last five on that score.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\"The Giants almost always keep the players they want,\" and Sandoval is still within their \"long-term salary structure.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The Giants simply need Sandoval more than other teams do and can pay a premium if they have to.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003cp>Kawakami's best guess is that San Francisco signs Panda to a five-year, $92 million contract. Reports have Sandoval \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/giants/2014/11/06/sabean-bochy-discuss-sandoval-lincecum-and-where-the-other-sf-giants-free-agents-stand/\" target=\"_blank\">wanting six years\u003c/a>, which would put him at age 34 at the end of the deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But last week, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote that \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/sports/shea/article/Pricey-Pablo-Sandoval-and-other-offseason-5886503.php\" target=\"_blank\">might be a stretch for the Giants\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Last thing the Giants wanted to hear is that Pablo Sandoval is seeking a six-year deal. Jumping from an offer of three years to four or even five is one thing. Six is extreme. By then, Sandoval will be 34, and the Giants must be convinced the third baseman will maintain his value over the contract — or that he’ll produce for only part of it and overpay on the back end just to get it done. Either way, six years requires at least a $100 million commitment.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Maury Brown, who writes about the sports business for \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.forbes.com/people/bizballmaury/\" target=\"_blank\">Forbes\u003c/a>, doesn't think six years for north of $100 million is unreasonable or particularly risky, especially in a world where the Miami Marlins' \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/stantmi03.shtml?redir\" target=\"_blank\">Giancarlo Stanton\u003c/a> can ink a contract worth \u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/11893223/giancarlo-stanton-miami-marlins-agree-13-year-325-million-deal\" target=\"_blank\">$325 million over 13 years\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In terms of total dollars, given the number of years, the average annual value will be up there,\" Brown said of a Sandoval signing. \"But given the fact that there are a number of teams that have historically spent -- who have revenues to spend -- who are in need of third basemen, I don’t see that as an (excessive) amount. I think $100 million will likely be the bottom of this discussion; it will most likely be higher.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Plus, as Kawakami wrote, \"\"You sell enough panda hats every October, the long-term budget looks better and better.\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown says the most risk incurred by teams occurs when they sign older players to long-term deals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That \"changes the dynamic of whether you have an albatross around your neck or not. Almost always dollars will escalate (in) what’s called backloaded contracts, where those values increase at the end. This is the problem you get into when you sign veteran players. Albert Pujols is an example, and his 10-year deal when he was signed at a much older age. Josh Hamilton is another. Alex Rodriguez. In terms of risk, signing Pablo Sandoval to six years as opposed to signing Albert Pujols to 10 years, the risk is much lower with Sandoval.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the TV deal the Giants have is \"nothing extraordinary\" compared with some of the big-money teams, Brown says, their high attendance allows them to go the extra mile in signing the 28-year-old Sandoval -- if they really want him. Though overpaying has not been their style. (We'll overlook \u003ca href=\"http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/61819318/barry-zitos-terrible-contract-with-san-francisco-giants-worked-out-in-some-ways\" target=\"_blank\">Barry Zito\u003c/a> here.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While they’ve spent a lot, they have not been, certainly, like the Dodgers and Yankees and Red Sox,\" Brown said. \"For them to have put together three World Series championships since 2010, you might be able to get Larry Baer and the organization go, 'You know what it’s worth having this guy, so let’s bump up a little higher.' (But) they seem to find players here and there, they don’t make big splashes in free agency. I think if it gets too rich for their diet, they’ll walk away from it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the Giancarlo Stanton deal, I spoke to Brown before it was final, when the tentative terms had just been reported. He called them \"mind-boggling\" and said the Marlins may be in the midst of another bait-and-switch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They get a guy in there, it looks great on paper, they get people to buy tickets, then like they did with \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/reyesjo01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">Jose Reyes\u003c/a> and Mark \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/buehrma01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">Buehrle\u003c/a>, they do this massive fire sale,\" Brown said. \"They dump them before these escalating (contract years) hit, and they saddle the Toronto Blue Jays with them. ... I'll pass out if at the end of a 13-year contract (Stanton) is still with the team.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

And the Giants, as we know, are three for the last five on that score.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\"The Giants almost always keep the players they want,\" and Sandoval is still within their \"long-term salary structure.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The Giants simply need Sandoval more than other teams do and can pay a premium if they have to.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003cp>Kawakami's best guess is that San Francisco signs Panda to a five-year, $92 million contract. Reports have Sandoval \u003ca href=\"http://blog.sfgate.com/giants/2014/11/06/sabean-bochy-discuss-sandoval-lincecum-and-where-the-other-sf-giants-free-agents-stand/\" target=\"_blank\">wanting six years\u003c/a>, which would put him at age 34 at the end of the deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But last week, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote that \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/sports/shea/article/Pricey-Pablo-Sandoval-and-other-offseason-5886503.php\" target=\"_blank\">might be a stretch for the Giants\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Last thing the Giants wanted to hear is that Pablo Sandoval is seeking a six-year deal. Jumping from an offer of three years to four or even five is one thing. Six is extreme. By then, Sandoval will be 34, and the Giants must be convinced the third baseman will maintain his value over the contract — or that he’ll produce for only part of it and overpay on the back end just to get it done. Either way, six years requires at least a $100 million commitment.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Maury Brown, who writes about the sports business for \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.forbes.com/people/bizballmaury/\" target=\"_blank\">Forbes\u003c/a>, doesn't think six years for north of $100 million is unreasonable or particularly risky, especially in a world where the Miami Marlins' \u003ca href=\"http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/stantmi03.shtml?redir\" target=\"_blank\">Giancarlo Stanton\u003c/a> can ink a contract worth \u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/11893223/giancarlo-stanton-miami-marlins-agree-13-year-325-million-deal\" target=\"_blank\">$325 million over 13 years\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In terms of total dollars, given the number of years, the average annual value will be up there,\" Brown said of a Sandoval signing. \"But given the fact that there are a number of teams that have historically spent -- who have revenues to spend -- who are in need of third basemen, I don’t see that as an (excessive) amount. I think $100 million will likely be the bottom of this discussion; it will most likely be higher.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Plus, as Kawakami wrote, \"\"You sell enough panda hats every October, the long-term budget looks better and better.\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown says the most risk incurred by teams occurs when they sign older players to long-term deals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That \"changes the dynamic of whether you have an albatross around your neck or not. Almost always dollars will escalate (in) what’s called backloaded contracts, where those values increase at the end. This is the problem you get into when you sign veteran players. Albert Pujols is an example, and his 10-year deal when he was signed at a much older age. Josh Hamilton is another. Alex Rodriguez. In terms of risk, signing Pablo Sandoval to six years as opposed to signing Albert Pujols to 10 years, the risk is much lower with Sandoval.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the TV deal the Giants have is \"nothing extraordinary\" compared with some of the big-money teams, Brown says, their high attendance allows them to go the extra mile in signing the 28-year-old Sandoval -- if they really want him. Though overpaying has not been their style. (We'll overlook \u003ca href=\"http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/61819318/barry-zitos-terrible-contract-with-san-francisco-giants-worked-out-in-some-ways\" target=\"_blank\">Barry Zito\u003c/a> here.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While they’ve spent a lot, they have not been, certainly, like the Dodgers and Yankees and Red Sox,\" Brown said. \"For them to have put together three World Series championships since 2010, you might be able to get Larry Baer and the organization go, 'You know what it’s worth having this guy, so let’s bump up a little higher.' (But) they seem to find players here and there, they don’t make big splashes in free agency. I think if it gets too rich for their diet, they’ll walk away from it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the Giancarlo Stanton deal, I spoke to Brown before it was final, when the tentative terms had just been reported. He called them \"mind-boggling\" and said the Marlins may be in the midst of another bait-and-switch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
