Slugger from Sacramento can fill an overlooked need for SF Giants

The SF Giants have a clear need for pitching this offseason, but one need that has been under-discussed is the need for a first baseman or designated hitter. Perhaps Sacramento native Rhys Hoskins could fill this need.

The Giants will enter 2026 with Rafael Devers being either their Opening Day first baseman or DH. He looked comfortable in both roles last year so he could potentially be used interchangeably at those two spots in the lineup.

Top prospect Bryce Eldridge was promoted late in the season and hit the ball hard when he made contact but he only had three hits in 28 at-bats.
