"After a few years of coming up empty on star pursuits, the Giants landed two impact hitters within the first nine months of Buster Posey's tenure atop baseball operations. They signed Willy Adames to a seven-year, $182MM free agent deal that represented the largest in franchise history. They made an even bigger commitment when they pulled off the Rafael Devers blockbuster in June. The Giants took on more than $240MM on Devers' contract over eight and a half seasons."
"On the heels of another .500 finish, they're now emphasizing a deeper pitching staff. " I think our focus is going to be on pitching, to try to fortify our starting staff. The same goes with the bullpen," Posey told Alex Pavlovic and Laura Britt of NBC Sports Bay Area. " I believe that pitching and defense wins, so that's where we'll probably start looking this offseason when free agency does happen.""
Buster Posey's first year as head of baseball operations saw the Giants sign two star hitters but finish with a league-average record. The team signed Willy Adames to a seven-year, $182 million deal and acquired Rafael Devers in a blockbuster that adds over $240 million in salary commitments across eight and a half seasons. Guaranteed contracts for 2026 total $132.75 million with total future commitments of $693.75 million through 2033. The roster includes arbitration-eligible players and non-tender candidates like Brubaker, Knizner, and Lucchesi. Management shifted priorities toward fortifying the starting rotation and bullpen, and the Giants replaced manager Bob Melvin with college coach Tony Vitello.
