Although with a veteran core, high payroll, and (admittedly) spoiled fan base, it’s tough to believe the San Francisco Giants will undergo a full sale and kick the 2019 season altogether.
The Giants will acquire players who can help the team in 2019 — that’s essentially a sure bet. Chances are one of those players will not be Bryce Harper or Manny Machado, but I would never say never with regards to the ambitions and wallets of this ownership group.
They are also not going to make an impact trade that takes away from the top talent in the farm system, so the core four of Joey Bart, Heliot Ramos, Shaun Anderson, and Chris Shaw are off the table.
