There are a few teams in Major League Baseball that have a different outlook on them than others.

Among these are the San Francisco Giantsas many are curious about what the front office plans to do this winter. With many changes already made to the building, the pressure is greater than ever on the Giants.

The decision to fire some of their senior leaders was interesting, but it was the right idea. But ultimately things will have to be done to show that this is the case, but on paper it was a step in the right direction.

The list of needs is long for San Francisco. That doesn’t mean they have to make every move out of the park, but if they do what’s necessary, the Giants should be in a much better position than they were in 2024.

Offensively, it’s difficult to entice free agents to play in San Francisco. Guys don’t want their numbers to disappear, which often prevents them from finding a player who would be willing to agree to a one-year deal.

Given that this is a problem and has been the case over the past few winters, they could look to the trade market to land someone of their choice.

First base is a position that needs to be addressed. They didn’t get terrible production from that position, but the lack of power they faced was an issue.

There will be options on the trade market that they can pursue, including Josh Naylor.

Michael Ginnitti from Spotrac considers him a trade candidate this winter.

“Naylor has hit a career-high 31 homers in 2024, but still finds himself amid trade rumors heading into the offseason. His final year of arbitration comes with a significant pay raise, and the Guardians are always keen to budget properly for any given season. Naylor was a coveted trade candidate in the winter of 2023, so it’s safe to assume he’ll still have plenty of suitors this time around.

Naylor is an interesting player because he is full of energy. He’s also producing at a pretty high level, as the slugger hit 31 home runs last season.

He brings a different type of fire than some other players in the league and certainly has some attitude. However, it is only the competitor who comes out.

The front office should think about that before trading for him, but this guy wants to win, and that’s exactly what this franchise should try to do.

This would be an interesting name to pursue, depending on the package.
