The San Francisco Giants are facing a dilemma at first base after LaMonte Wade Jr.'s struggles led to his transfer to the Angels. As the team explores options, Rafael Devers currently serves as a designated hitter since his trade from Boston. This situation raises questions about whether Wilmer Flores can adequately fill the first base position, prompting speculation about potential trades to secure a more reliable option.

ESPN's Buster Olney reports that the Giants are among the frontrunners, alongside the Seattle Mariners, to acquire Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks. Naylor, batting .294 with 11 home runs and known for his clutch performances in the postseason, could be an affordable and impactful addition given his expiring contract. The Giants may need to act fast if they want to make a serious playoff push.
