Giants' Schmitt Nears Full Health After Wrist Surgery, Addresses Trade Rumors

Giants second baseman Casey Schmitt is nearing 100% health after undergoing wrist surgery due to being hit by a pitch last June. He has been dealing with months of speculation about the team acquiring a veteran at second base, but he's currently training at the position. Schmitt dropped approximately 10 pounds this winter to improve his defensive quickness. The front office plans to utilize him in a utility role if a trade for another second baseman occurs, but he remains focused on his current role.
