The Giants reportedly have signed first baseman and outfielder Darin Ruf to a minor league contract.
The Athletic's Jayson Stark was the first with the news on Ruf who spent the last three seasons playing in Korea.
The 33-year-old batted .313/.404/.564 with 86 home runs, a .968 OPS and 350 RBI in 404 games across those seasons in the Korean Baseball Organization. He certainly made an impression overseas.

Ruf was drafted by the Phillies in the 20th round of the 2009 MLB Draft and played in the organization for five seasons. His numbers weren't anything to brag about when he hit .240/.314/.433 with 35 homers and 96 RBI from 2012-16.
He was part of a trade in 2016 with the Los Angeles Dodgers that sent him and Darnell Sweeney to LA for All-Star infielder Howie Kendrick.
