With Brandon Belt entrenched at first base and the addition ofMichael Morse to play left field, there just wasn't room for Brett Pill.
On Saturday, the Giants agreed to send Pill to the KIA Tigers of the Korean Baseball Organization.
#SFGiants say Brett Pill to KIA Tigers is a done deal pending a physical. All parties agreed to terms. Physical won't happen til after Xmas.

So Pill remains on Giants' 40-man roster until physical is completed.
