"Our focus is going to be on pitching, to try to fortify our starting staff. The same goes with the bullpen. Posey had acted decisively in pursuing star players during his first year running baseball operations, signing Willy Adames to a franchise-record contract and acquiring Rafael Devers from the Red Sox in June."
"General manager Zack Minasian told John Shea they'd focus more on depth arms. CEO Greg Johnson made similar comments, noting that they were wary of making extended free agent commitments. None of that contradicted Posey's identification of the focus, but it pointed to the more quiet offseason that would follow."
The Giants focused their offseason on fortifying their starting rotation and bullpen through depth signings rather than pursuing elite free agents. President Buster Posey identified pitching as the primary priority, but the front office subsequently downplayed expectations, indicating a preference for depth arms over extended commitments to marquee players. The team spent $68.78 million total with $44.95 million committed for 2026. Despite being considered contenders for top free agents like Dylan Cease and Framber Valdez, the Giants pursued a quieter approach. The organization made a significant managerial change, dismissing the previous manager and making one of the boldest recent hiring decisions.
