This is reflected in reports that the Giants might not be all that interested in Bryce Harper, as well as them thinking about trading players like Brandon Belt and Will Smith. Thus far, it seems that Farhan Zaidi is taking the long view.
Such a strategy is probably wise. The Giants tried to “reload” instead of “rebuild” last season, and though we won’t know how the team would have fared if it hadn’t suffered so many key injuries, the end result was failure.
The Giants appear to understand that their window for winning will open up only by the time the next decade rolls around.
