Giants Juan Uribe reaches deal with Dodgers

Question

I want to know how Giants Juan Uribe reaches deal with Dodgers? Anyone tell me

Answer 1

The Giants offered Uribe salary arbitration, if only to receive a compensatory draft pick (between the first and second rounds), knowing he wouldn't accept it because he was in line for a multiyear deal. The Giants were willing to go beyond one year but not to the Dodgers' extent, especially after handing a $22 million, two-year contract to Aubrey Huff, who also was pursued by the Dodgers.
