Freddy Sanchez, Giants Agree To One-Year Extension

In October of 2009, Sanchez signed a two-year contract with the Giants worth $6 million in 2010 and $6 million in 2011. It isn’t too difficult to imagine how they arrived at the new contract details. Given inflation, the $6 million Sanchez will make in 2012 will be worth a little less than the $6 million he made in 2010, but then, Sanchez is an aging middle infielder, so the value decline follows the projected performance decline.
