Outfielder Hunter Pence is returning to the San Francisco Giants, multiple outlets reported on Friday. Pence experienced a disappointing 2018 campaign with the Giants when he batted .226 with four homers and 24 RBIs and the team wasn’t interested in re-signing him. But Pence bounced back strong with the Texas Rangers last season, batting .297 with 18 homers and 59 RBIs in 83 games. Overall, Pence has a .280 average with 242 homers and 936 RBIs in 1,690 games over 13 seasons. The Giants also signed speedy outfielder Billy Hamilton (299 career steals) and right-hander Nick Vincent (3.32 career ERA) to minor league contracts.
