San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - The San Francisco Giants and relief
pitcher Santiago Casilla have agreed to a three-year deal, pending a physical
examination.
Casilla, who was entering his final year of salary-arbitration eligibility,
will make $15 million over the span of his new deal with a club/vesting option
for 2016, according to multiple news outlets.

World Series champions, compiling a 7-6 record with a 2.84 earned run average

Casilla played a key role in the Giants' championship run, surrendering just
one earned run over seven innings and was the winning pitcher in the Game 4
World Series clincher against Detroit.

2010 and has amassed a 16-10 record with a 2.22 ERA and 33 saves in 174 relief
