SAN FRANCISCO\u2014Ryan Vogelsong is returning to the Bay.<\/p>\n
Following a handful of free agency inquires and a visit with the Houston Astros, the right-hander signed a one-year pact with San Francisco worth $4 million, with the potential for an additional $3 million incentive bonus.<\/p>\n
As Giants brass figured out how to piece back together their 2014 championship roster, Vogelsong’s courtship with other teams eventually led him back to a new-look Giants team.<\/p>\n
Vogelsong returns to San Francisco in 2015 after spending the past four seasons with the Giants, a tenure in which the team has won two World Series championships.<\/p>\n
Vogelsong is coming off a solid, if unspectacular 2014, in which he posted a 8-13 record and 4.00 ERA in 32 starts. He is expected to add depth and experience to a rotation that features World Series hero Maddison Bumgarner and recovering ace Matt Cain.<\/p>\n
“When a decision came down, everything kept leading me back to San Francisco. It’s where I’m supposed to be,” Vogelsong said. “I’ve always considered myself a Giant. There’s not really any place I’d rather play.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
