Giants agree to terms with Korean third baseman Jae-gyun Hwang

The Giants are crossing an ocean in their search for additional depth at third base.

The club has agreed to terms with Korean infielder Jae-gyun Hwang on a minor league contract that includes an invitation to major league spring training. Hwang would earn $1.5 million if he makes the big league roster; the contract includes additional incentives based on games played, and also has several opt-out dates if Hwang is not on the Giants roster.

The Giants already have Eduardo Núñez under contract to play third base with Conor Gillaspie expected to see time at the position as well.
