Bass Signs 3-Year Contract With Giants
Outfielder Kevin Bass of the Houston Astros signed a $5.25-million, three-year contract with the San Francisco Giants Thursday.
The first of 90 free agents to switch teams this year, Bass said he chose the Giants because they gave him a no-trade clause. Bass, who lives in the Bay Area, said it was a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity to play for both a pennant-winner and his hometown team.
Bass already has been told that he will bat second in Manager Roger Craig’s lineup, between Brett Butler and Will Clark.
