Giants Target High-Impact 2B Upgrades in Hoerner or Donovan

San Francisco has intensified its pursuit of a proven second baseman, reportedly targeting Cubs’ Nico Hoerner and Cardinals’ Brendan Donovan as upgrades to a weak 2025 group. Donovan appears more attainable given St. Louis’s rebuild, while Hoerner would be a close, high-contact fit; both are 29 next season with defensive versatility. Trade costs could be steep, and Cubs’ win-now posture or Cardinals’ rebuilding push could shape the package. The Giants have payroll room after adding rotation pieces and remain open to other routes (including market shifts from Bo Bichette’s status) to address the position.

Yankees Acquire Closer Devin Williams, Trade Nestor Cortes

The New York Yankees have acquired star closer Devin Williams from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for former All-Star pitcher Nestor Cortes, minor-league player Caleb Durbin, and cash.

Astros' Kyle Tucker at Center of MLB Trade Speculation

The New York Yankees are considering trading for Houston Astros' right fielder Kyle Tucker to bolster their lineup after losing out on Juan Soto to the New York Mets. Despite the high cost, Tucker's left-handed power and defensive skills make him an ideal fit for the Yankees, who are eager to strengthen their roster and end their World Series drought. However, acquiring Tucker could be challenging, as Astros' owner Jim Crane may not be willing to trade him, and Tucker's long-term commitment to New York is uncertain.
