Ballclubs often decline to tender contracts to arbitration-eligible players who, in the organization's judgment, aren't worth the salary increase that the arbitration process virtually guarantees. The Giants obviously had no such concern about their players in this category. Gearrin, who made $550,000 last season, and Adrianza, whose salary was $508,000, were expected to command modest pay increases.
San Francisco's four remaining arbitration-eligibles are right-hander George Kontos, infielder Conor Gillaspie, third baseman Eduardo Nunez and left-hander Will Smith.
