Contract Talks Between Giants, Feliz Stall

Contract talks between the Giants and incumbent third baseman Pedro Feliz appear to be stalling. Sources said the team offered Feliz a contract of less than the three years he is believed to be seeking, and no deal was struck despite a deadline imposed by the team.

Contract length appears to be one significant stumbling block. General Manager Brian Sabean said last month he would agree to a deal of less than three years. Before the 2007 season ended, Feliz hinted he was hoping for a longer deal.

A passing deadline does not necessarily mean Feliz is gone but does mean that with five weeks before spring training the Giants might have to intensify trade talks for Scott Rolen, Joe Crede, or any other third baseman who might be available.
