Kang unlikely to report to camp until after trial

PITTSBURGH -- With a trial date set in South Korea, Jung Ho Kang will report to Pirates camp at least a few days late.

Kang is set to appear at a Feb. 22 trial following his third DUI arrest, according to the Yonhap News Agency. The Pirates' first full-squad workout is Feb. 17. Kang is not expected to join the Bucs in Bradenton, Fla., until after that trial takes place, general manager Neal Huntington said.

Kang must appear before the Seoul Central District Court, according to the Yonhap News report, and he may have to attend two hearings.
