Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Slotted in at second base
San Francisco Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey said Monday that he sees Tyler Fitzgerald as the team's regular second baseman next season, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.Posey couldn't comment on the Willy Adames signing yet because it's not official, but with Adames aboard Fitzgerald will slide over to the keystone. The position is not foreign to Fitzgerald, who started four games at second base for the Giants in 2024 and 87 during his time in the minors. Fitzgerald had a mini-breakout with San Francisco this season, slashing .280/.334/.497 while hitting 15 homers and stealing 17 bases over 96 games.

Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Won't be everyday shortstop
San Francisco Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey said Tuesday the team will be looking for a shortstop this offseason rather than putting Tyler Fitzgerald there on an everyday basis, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.Posey referenced Fitzgerald's ability to play multiple positions, perhaps an indication the Giants have the 27-year-old pegged for a super-utility role in 2025. He trailed off in September (.677 OPS), but Fitzgerald still finished with a .280/.334/.497 batting line while hitting 15 homers and stealing 17 bases over 96 games. While his position doesn't appear nailed down yet, Fitzgerald should remain an everyday player for the Giants next season.

Giants' Tyler Fitzgerald: Goes deep Tuesday
Tyler Fitzgerald went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.Fitzgerald put the cherry on top with a two-run blast in the fifth to put the San Francisco Giants up 10-0. His power numbers have significantly dipped since he had that mini home run burst with 11 long balls in 17 games starting back on July 9. Tuesday's home run was only his third since Aug. 13 and just his second and third RBI in September. Fitzgerald is still putting together a productive campaign having permanently been back up with the Giants since June 28. For the year, he's slashing .287/.338/.510 with 35 extra-base hits, 33 RBI, 52 runs, 17 steals and a 20:101 BB:K in 325 plate appearances.
