Giants: Front office deserves benefit of the doubt for now

This offseason has been one of the most difficult in recent memory for San Francisco Giants fans.

Watching longtime manager and future Hall of Famer Bruce Bochy retire, only to be replaced by Gabe Kapler, was the first big blow. Then came the non-tender of 2019 Willie Mac Award winner Kevin Pillar. Then perhaps the most painful moment of all, when Madison Bumgarner signed a five-year, $85 million deal with the NL West rival Arizona Diamondbacks.

Most of the fan base wants to cast the blame for these decisions on the front office, which is led by president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi and new general manager Scott Harris.
