    Zito to...Giants!?


    Barry Zito is staying in the Bay Area with the San Francisco Giants.

    Sources told ESPN's Peter Gammons that Zito will receive a seven-year contract from the Giants, with the deal averaging approximately $18 million per season. Zito will be formally introduced by the Giants this afternoon.

    Gammons reports that Zito picked the Giants over the Rangers, Mets, Yankees and Mariners. In additon, sources told Gammons that the Yankees never made a formal offer.

    Zito is 102-63 in 222 career starts, including a 16-10 mark with a 3.83 ERA in 34 starts this year before becoming a free agent.

      I wish he would have came to the Mets, this is a surprise, but in the end, he's not worth 18mil per, no way.

        i think you mean, you 'couldn't' care less. in any case, a contract of almost $126 mil... wow.

              That's an awful lot of money to give a guy, who lets that many runners on base, and doesn't get many double plays or ground ball outs.

                I figured he'd stay on the west coast as I believe that was his intention all along. However, 18 MIL per season? I know the market is very high, but that contract is absurd. I'm not sure what's worse...the 7 years or the 18 MIL per year part!

                      the best thing about Zito is he gives more then 200 inings every year, thats a plus.

                          Jason Schmidt doesn't give up 300 baserunners per season.

                            Keep him away from the Mets, and I couldn't care where he went.
