The San Francisco Giants are in the market for a second baseman as they look to improve their roster ahead of the 2026 season.
San Francisco has reportedly been linked to both the St. Louis Cardinals’ Brendan Donovan and the Chicago Cubs’ Nico Hoerner, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, as the Giants continue to engage in trade discussions around MLB.
Passan said on X, formerly Twitter, that the Giants are “aggressively pursuing” a second baseman.
The San Francisco Giants are aggressively pursuing a second baseman and have been engaged with Chicago on Nico Hoerner and St. Louis on Brendan Donovan, sources tell ESPN. An infield of Matt Chapman, Willy Adames, Donovan or Hoerner and Rafael Devers would be among MLB’s best.
