According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the Giants and Freddy Sanchez have agreed to a two-year, $12 million contract.
It's better than picking up his $8.1 million option for 2009. Sanchez wasn't a great bet on a multiyear deal, considering that he's turning 32 this winter and second basemen tend to decline quickly in their early 30s, but this probably won't turn into an Edgar Renteria-style disaster, either. If Sanchez is healthy, he'll be reasonably productive. If not, then the Giants will have alternatives.
