Giants GM: Pence could become part-timer

ORLANDO, Fla. -- As the San Francisco Giants contemplate additions to their outfield this offseason, some old faces might have to get used to new roles in 2018.

The Giants have already laid the groundwork to shift Denard Span from center field to left field next season. Depending on the team's other moves, right fielder Hunter Pence could be in for a more limited role, general manager Bobby Evans said Tuesday.

"Our focus is center field, and we've got to do everything we can to upgrade the defense," Evans said from the MLB general managers meetings in Orlando.
