Tyler Fitzgerald

Specifically, Feinsand mentions that the Giants and Brewers have been the two teams most connected to Kim, with the Giants currently being the team most interested in signing the 29-year-old. Kim won a Gold Glove and received five down-ballot MVP votes in 2023, but he hit just 11 home runs with 47 RBIs, 22 stolen bases, and a .700 OPS in 121 games in 2024 before tearing his labrum in mid-August and missing the remainder of the season. If the Giants were to sign Kim, it would likely mean that Tyler Fitzgerald would move to more of a versatile role where he can play all over the field, which is what new GM Buster Posey has seemed to want.

Posey alluded to utilizing incumbent shortstop Tyler Fitzgerald in a versatile multi-position role instead of locking him in as San Francisco's everyday shortstop next year. The 27-year-old rookie faded down the home stretch after exploding onto fantasy radar screens right around midseason, finishing with an .831 OPS along with 15 homers and 17 steals across 341 plate appearances. He projects as a borderline top 20 shortstop for fantasy managers heading into next season given his power/speed combination, but it's worth noting there's some legitimate risk the batting average department given his propensity to strike out and pedestrian exit velocities.
