"The Giants are delighted to extend our partnership with KTRB 860 AM ESPN Deportes," said Baer.

"It's been a fantastic ride during the first three years as the Giants Spanish Radio partner.

"Our new five year agreement allows us to expand on our winning partnership while quenching the thirst of the Northern California Hispanic sports fans."
