Vogelsong set for new contract with Giants
Published: 01 Dec. 2013, 22:34
The Giants declined to exercise Vogelsong’s $6.5 million contract option for 2014 on Nov. 4, but the parties agreed to keep open the possibility of potential negotiations down the road during free agency. General manager Brian Sabean and Evans have been committed to keeping their pitching staff intact as best as possible, which they have done while also adding right-hander Tim Hudson on $23 million, two-year contract Nov. 19.
The 36-year-old Vogelsong is determined to come back strong in 2014 following a frustrating year. He went 4-6 with a 5.73 ERA in 19 starts and 103 2-3 innings during an injury-shortened season.
He broke two bones in the right pinkie area of his pitching hand and also dislocated a knuckle on a swing May 20, and underwent surgery the next day. He had five pins inserted in his hand.
