Overview

  • Eldridge told fans he wants to remain with San Francisco and is tuning out offseason trade speculation.
  • The Giants have not guaranteed him an Opening Day spot, but he will compete to share first base and DH with Rafael Devers.
  • Eldridge, the club’s top prospect, is coming off a 2025 minor-league season with 25 home runs and an .843 OPS across Double-A and Triple-A.
  • Casey Schmitt, rehabbing from a December left wrist procedure, has resumed hitting off a tee and could be slightly behind early in camp.
  • San Francisco is exploring a second-base upgrade, has been linked to Brendan Donovan and Nico Hoerner, and signed Venezuelan prospect Luis Hernández for a $5 million bonus.
