The Giants almost certainly aren’t getting Brian Dozier. The 29-year-old infielder has averaged 31 homers over the last three years, including a 42-homer season in 2016. His defense is solid. He has enough speed to steal nearly 20 bases, and he has the baserunning acumen to avoid getting thrown out too much. He’s making $6 million in 2017 and $9 million in 2018, so he’s eminently affordable. He’s not just the perfect fit for the Giants; he’s the perfect fit for every team. Which means there probably isn’t much of a shot.
But there is a stray tweet!
