SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants aren't on track to name a new head of their baseball operations before next week's general manager meetings in Carlsbad, which means it’ll be a bit longer before we get a true read on their intentions for 2019.
It remains possible that they’ll hire someone who has a background in starting from scratch, and that they’ll finally start the partial rebuild that so many fans have been clamoring for. But their history says they’ll continue to push with this core, so as Major League Baseball free agency starts this week, you can assume they'll look to do what they always do.
