It appears the Los Angeles Dodgers might not be the only NL West team targeting Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier.

The San Francisco Giants have also shown interest in Dozier, Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports reports. Heyman goes on to write that the Giants are an imperfect fit, which could be attributed to the presence of Gold Glove-winning second baseman Joe Panik on San Francisco's roster.

Also of note, ESPN's Keith Law ranked the Giants as having one of the worst farm systems in the majors earlier this year, and that was before they dealt prospects to land Matt Moore and Will Smith at the trade deadline.

Dozier is coming off a breakout season in which he hit a career-high .268, slugged 42 homers -- an AL record for a second baseman -- and drove in 99 runs. To further enhance his value, the 29-year-old is under contract for the next two seasons at $15 million total.

Dozier has experience in the majors at second base and shortstop, two positions the Giants are currently set at with Panik and fellow Gold Glove winner Brandon Crawford. Perhaps Dozier would be a fit for San Francisco if he was willing to play third base, an idea broached by Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com earlier this week.
