Giants, Austin Jackson agree to two-year, $6 million deal
Center fielder Austin Jackson has agreed to a deal to join the San Francisco Giants, the team announced Monday.
The two-year, $6 million deal includes bonuses based on playing time, and other escalators could increase the overall value of the deal to $8.5 million, a source told ESPN’s Jerry Crasnick.
A right-handed batter, Jackson has played mostly center field during his seven seasons in the majors. He is a .275 hitter with 62 homers, 349 RBIs and 111 steals in 999 career games.
Indeed, Minnesota’s first major move this winter was mostly about 2019.

Pineda, who missed the 2012 and 2013 seasons after shoulder surgery, understands the wait and process of recovery.
