The tables have turned on the San Francisco Giants in recent years, and not for the best. With their bitter rivals the Los Angeles Dodgers four wins away from a second-straight World Series title, and with the San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks having leapfrogged the Giants in competitive merit of late, San Fran's three championships between 2010 and 2014 feel like relics of a past age.
The managerial architect of that bygone dynasty (Bruce Bochy) has long departed, and he's even won a World Series with an entirely separate franchise since then.
With the exception of a 2021 divisional crown, the Giants have been on the outside of contention looking in for a decade now, and it's Buster Posey's job as San Francisco's president of baseball operations to change that.
