Latest rumors put young SF Giants infielder firmly on the hot seat

The SF Giants do not have many spots in the lineup where they can make a meaningful upgrade, but second base is one of them. The latest rumors suggest young Giants second baseman Casey Schmitt may be on the hot seat.

Schmitt had a solid 2025 season in which he took hold of starting duties at second base after Tyler Fitzgerald struggled after a breakout campaign in 2024. By the end of the season, Schmitt was slashing .237/.305/.401 with 12 home runs and 40 runs batted in.
