The San Francisco Giants and outfielder Andres Torres have reached an agreement on a one-year deal, according to Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News.  The sides agreed to a $2.2 million contract plus up to an additional $100,000 in performance bonuses to avoid the arbitration process.

“It’s always nice for me when you can get deals done without having to go into a room,” Bobby Evans, the Giants’ vice president of baseball operations, said (via the AP). “That’s what you want. When you get a deal done this early, it’s also nice for both sides.”

Baggarly first reported on January 21 that the sides were close to a deal.

Torres hit for .268 with 16 HR’s and 63 RBI’s in 507 AB’s with the Giants in 2010.
