SAN FRANCISCO – Brandon Crawford grew up in Pleasanton and dreamed of playing shortstop for the Giants.
After two World Series titles, an All-Star appearance, a Gold Glove and a Silver Slugger, there’s no reason the dream has to end.
The Giants and Crawford handled an expected bit of business on Tuesday, agreeing to terms on a six-year, $75 million contract that will span the 28-year-old’s final two arbitration seasons as well as four years of free agency.
He already received high accolades in recent days, becoming the first Giant to win a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger in the same season since Barry Bonds in 1997.
