Zito agrees to a $126 million contract with the Giants
By Stephen Lars Barry Zito and the Giants reached a preliminary agreement on the largest contract for a pitcher in baseball history, a $126 million, seven-year deal. Zito joined the Giants three weeks after the club came to terms on a $16 million.
Giants’ General manager Brian Sabean said:“ the team had money to spend for a top pitcher”, and Bonds agreed to defer some of the money from his new contract to give the team flexibility to improve the roster. Zito will lead a rotation that features Matt Cain, who is coming off a strong rookie season. Zito is expected to bring additional rock-solid positioning to the team as soon as the next baseball season starts.
