Tyler Fitzgerald

The "as things stand right now" implies that the Giants could still be in the market for another option, but Posey has already talked to Fitzgerald about playing second base after signing Willy Adames to play shortstop. The 27-year-old Fitzgerald was a huge surprise for the Giants in 2024, finishing with a .831 OPS, 15 homers, and 17 steals across 341 plate appearances. With 2B/SS/OF eligibility, he could be a valuable pick in the latter stages of fantasy drafts due to his ability to contribute a little bit in all five categories.

Chapman is a five-time Gold Glove Award winner and two-time Platinum Glove Award winner at third base, but he has only played four games at shortstop during his big league career. He's such a skilled defender though, that he could undoubtedly handle it with ease until Kim is recovered from his off-season shoulder surgery. The 31-year-old is expected to miss the start of the 2025 season at a minimum and could be sidelined for most of the first half. If the Giants slid Chapman over to shortstop temporarily, Tyler Fitzgerald would likely serve as the team's starting third baseman until Kim was ready to return.
