If anyone close to the San Francisco Giants is listening, then what are you doing to make sure that the ballclub doesn't finish at .500 or below in 2026?

Giants fans really want to see the team have a shot at beating the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West Division. But there might be a few things that the Giants' front office might want to consider picking up.

Maybe this "wish list" compiled by Zachary D. Rymer of Bleacher Report might offer the organization some suggestions. The "wish list" is posted for all MLB clubs to think about making some acquisitions as spring training is just around the corner.

From Rymer's perspective, San Francisco could use a second baseman, an outfielder, and bullpen depth.

"The keystone is the one position on the infield where the Giants aren't set," Rymer wrote. "To this end, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported that they're in on Nico Hoerner and Brendan Donovan on the trade market.

"Another option for the open job in right field would be a good idea, even if it's only someone like Mike Tauchman," Rymer wrote. "And with only one new addition to the bullpen so far, another should be in the offing."

Hoerner, a second baseman and shortstop who played for the Chicago Cubs last season, hit .297 with seven home runs and 61 RBIs. He's played his entire seven-season career on the north side of Chicago. Now, he's available for someone to pick up.

Donovan has been a second baseman, left fielder, and third baseman in all of his four seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals.

Either Donovan or Hoerner would be a real solid pick-up for Giants manager Tony Vitello to have as an option in his lineup. Still, the moves might come under scrutiny from the Giants' fan base.

At this point, San Francisco's front office is probably looking to improve at any position possible. The Giants don't want to have a season like last one pop up again. That's why San Francisco decided to go away from Bob Melvin as their manager and in a new direction.

With Vitello, the one knock that might be against him is that he has no MLB experience. He's been a proven winner on the collegiate level at the University of Tennessee.

Can Vitello bring that level of coaching experience into the major leagues? Can he motivate players enough to believe in his vision for the ballclub?

Those are questions that remain to be answered. Still, picking up another player or two to help Vitello out could be in the offing.
