The San Francisco Giants made a big splash early in the offseason when they signed star shortstop Willy Adames to a seven-year, $182 million contract.
However, they’ve been quiet ever since and even watched left-hander Blake Snell sign with the Los Angeles Dodgers on a five-year, $182 million deal.
But that doesn’t mean the Giants are done just yet. According to Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic , new president of baseball operation Buster Posey doesn’t expect to just throw away the 2025 season.
“After the successful pursuit of Adames, the offseason has presented a series of challenging dead ends for Posey, who inherited a minor league system short on potential impact players to trade along with a soft mandate to reduce payroll from last season’s dissatisfying dalliance over the luxury tax threshold,” Baggarly wrote.
“But Posey is said to be unwilling to treat next season as a reset in an otherwise rigorous National League West. Those familiar with Posey’s thinking describe him as competitive and ambitious, still determined to improve the roster sufficiently to the degree that the Giants will expect to contend in 2025.”
