Giants should embrace a rebuild as baseball heads into labor war, uncertainty
The San Francisco Giants will never say they're in a rebuilding mode, but it seems like the perfect time for one as unknowns shroud what next season will look like.
The San Francisco Giants, currently experiencing a 97-loss season, face an uncertain future as the MLB collective bargaining agreement expires and a potential labor war looms. The team's president of baseball operations, Buster Posey, is attempting to balance the need for a competitive team with the development of young players.
With potential changes to the season structure, such as an abbreviated spring training or a shortened season, the Giants must decide whether to make significant roster moves or secure the development of their young prospects. The team's principal owner, Charles Johnson, has also faced losses due to political setbacks, which may further motivate the Giants to rebuild and invest in younger talent.
