The San Francisco Giants avoided arbitration with right-handed pitcher Sergio Romo by agreeing to a two-year contract on Wednesday, the team announced. 

Financial terms were not disclosed. Romo, who will begin next season as the team's closer, had requested $4.5 million and was offered $2.675 million by the Giants when arbitration figures were exchanged last month.
