SAN FRANCISCO–Major League Baseball’s best teams have it all.
Star players, wunderkind executives, and in many cases, dejected division rivals to pad their stats against.
The San Francisco Giants, as currently constructed, are not one of baseball’s best teams. But in a sports landscape increasingly tolerant of tanking and rebuilding –of losing it all to gain it all back– the Giants don’t appear incentivized to lose 100 games.
Under new president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi, the Giants have yet to commit to a direction for the 2019 season.
Will Zaidi feel pressure to win immediately and sign premium free agents in his first offseason with the club?
