The San Francisco Giants have agreed to a $23 million, two-year contract with the free-agent pitcher, who began his career with Oakland. Hudson had a physical Monday, and the team said the deal is pending the results of that examination.
Hudson made his major league debut with the Athletics in 1999 and went 92-39 in six seasons with Oakland, where the right-hander teamed with Mark Mulder and Barry Zito to form a successful "big three."
The deal might include a full no-trade clause, which was a central part of the discussion, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney. The A's finished second in the bidding for Hudson, sources said.
I know Gattis will be able to fill McCann's roll, but Hudson (when healthy) was our ace, I wonder who will have to step up. Unless we trade/sign someone else.

Too bad they have to eat Struggla's salary and get a second baseman now, too :-<
I hope Freddi kicks his ass this offseason.
