Jung-Hoo Lee will be introduced Friday at Oracle Park by the San Francisco Giants.
The club officially announced the six-year, $113 million contract with the 25-year-old Korean outfielder Thursday night.
The contract, the largest awarded to a free-agent position player in franchise history, includes the ability for Lee to opt out after four years.
In addition to a $5 million signing bonus, Lee will earn $7 million in 2024, $16 million in 2025 and $22 million in 2026 and 2027. If he opts in to the final two years of the deal, he would be paid $20.5 million in 2028 and 2029. He will also make donations to the Giants Community Fund totaling $565,000 over the duration of the contract.
Lee’s introductory news conference is scheduled for 1 p.m., with his agent, Scott Boras, and translator, Tad Yo, set to be on hand, along with Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi.
