Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, with more information on the signing promised in a press conference including Sanchez, general manager Brian Sabean and manager Bruce Bochy scheduled for later Friday, but the deal is believed to have exceeded the $10 million two-year contract he was offered by the Pirates prior to being traded. The San Francisco Chronicle reported on Friday that the contract is worth $12 million.
Sanchez, a three-time All-Star and 2006 National League batting champion, hit .284 with one home run and seven RBIs in 25 games with the Giants last season and 293 with seven homers and 41 RBIs in 111 games overall. His season was cut short on Sept. 21 by a partially torn meniscus in his left knee.

"Anything to give our school some good news is great," she said. "It’s awesome."
