Giants interested in Korean INF Hwang
Jae-gyun Hwang has recorded 585 RBIs over his 10 seasons in the Korean Baseball Organization. (Getty)Hwang has spent the majority of his career with the Korea Baseball Organization's Lotte Giants, hitting .330/.391/.558 with 26 home runs and 104 RBIs in 118 games last season. He is a .285/.349/.433 career hitter with 114 homers in 10 seasons.
Hwang profiles as a third baseman, which fits San Francisco's needs and could allow Eduardo Nunez to serve in a utility role. The club also signed veteran infielder Jimmy Rollins to a Minor League deal with a Spring Training invite earlier this offseason.
