Jake Peavy has reached an agreement on a two-year, $24 million contract with the Giants. The deal will pay Peavy base salaries of $7 million in 2015 and $13 million in 2016, the source said. It includes a $4 million signing bonus, a full no-trade clause and an awards package. Peavy, 33, is 139-111 with a 3.53 ERA in parts of 13 seasons with San Diego, the Chicago White Sox, Boston and San Francisco. He is a three-time All-Star who won the National League Cy Young Award with the Padres in 2007. After struggling in Boston last season with a 1-9 record and a 4.72 ERA in 20 starts, he put in a strong performance in August and September with the Giants after they acquired him from the Red Sox on July 26 in a trade for minor league pitchers Edwin Escobar and Heath Hembree. Peavy went 6-4 with a 2.17 ERA and 2.1 wins above replacement with San Francisco to help the Giants make the playoffs as a wild-card entry. He threw 5⅔ shutout innings against Washington in the opener of the National League Division Series but finished the season on a down note, lasting only 1⅓ innings in a 10-0 loss to Kansas City in Game 6 of the World Series.
