Pablo Sandoval has told his agent, Gustavo Vasquez, to continue negotiating with the San Francisco Giants about a possible contract extension during the season.

It remains to be seen if the Giants are open to doing so at this point.

Brian Sabean typically avoids in-season contract talks.

There was a considerable gap when the two sides last spoke. Sandoval is looking for a five-year, $90 million deal, while the Giants were looking at $40 million over three seasons.
