The Giants are in the market for a second baseman.
San Francisco has engaged in trade discussions with the Cardinals—eyeing second baseman Brendan Donovan—and the Cubs—focusing on second baseman Nico Hoerner—sources told Jeff Passan of ESPN. Among a talented infield that includes the likes of three-time All-Star Rafael Devers, slugging shortstop Willy Adames and five-time Gold Glove third baseman Matt Chapman, Giants' second basemen combined to post just 0.4 Wins Above Replacement. The group was headlined by the likes of Tyler Fitzgerald, Casey Schmitt, Christian Koss and Brett Wisely, a quartet that combined to produce a .665 OPS, 21st in the majors in 2025.
