SAN FRANCISCO — A person with
knowledge of the negotiations tells The Associated Press that the San
Francisco Giants have reached a preliminary agreement with veteran
infielder Mark DeRosa on a two-year contract.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement has not been finalized.
The addition of DeRosa would be a
significant upgrade for the Giants' lineup. He was scheduled for a
physical Monday and a formal announcement could come as soon as
Tuesday.
San Francisco also is working to finalize a contract to bring back infielder Juan Uribe.
