When Brandon Crawford's agent called him to say his new deal with the San Francisco Giants had been completed, the shortstop was in the middle of a workout in the AT&T Park weight room. It's that kind of hard-nosed yet humble drive - even behind the scenes - that gave the Giants so much confidence signing one of their core homegrown players to a $75 million deal. Crawford loves playing right at home in the Bay Area, where he grew up rooting for the Giants, so the full no-trade clause in the contract was a key element to getting this done now.
