Giants Target Brendan Donovan as Contact Upgrade at Second

With Winter Meetings trade chatter heating up, the Giants are repeatedly checking on Cardinals second baseman Brendan Donovan, per reports. Since 2024, Donovan has become one of MLB’s best offensive second basemen, hitting .282 with a 117 wRC+ and 13.5% strikeout rate. The Giants like his profile but still won’t overpay, with Casey Schmitt and Christian Koss as fallback options.
