Ishikawa signed a one-year, $1.1 million deal with the Giants on Thursday to avoid arbitration, MLB.com's Chris Haft reports. Ishikawa slashed .252/.311/.393 with the Pirates and Giants during the 2014 regular season, but played meaningful innings for the Giants during their World Championship run. Rather than go to arbitration, the Giants inked him to a short-term deal, locking the 31-year-old up as an outfielder and backup first baseman for the 2015 season.
