There's something extra special about San Francisco Giants wins when young players play key roles. The SF Giants had a nice team win in Denver on Tuesday, with David Villar, Sean Hjelle, Thairo Estrada, and Joey Bart playing key roles. Giants rookie Hjelle tossed four very strong innings in relief, which is not easy to do at Coors Field. Thairo Estrada collected two more big hits for the Giants. David Villar hit a rocket home run to left field. Joey Bart had a triple (that was later ruled an error), a single, and a really nice tag play at home plate (which was not called an out even though the runner did, in fact, appear to be out). Buster Posey has joined the San Francisco Giants' ownership group, in a bit of shocking news. Posey will also serve on the Giants' board of directors. Posey obviously brings a fresh perspective to an ownership group that hasn't ever consisted of any former Giants players. Posey's share in the team is undoubtedly small (the franchise is valued at over $3 billion), but he's a legend within the organization and he will yield considerable influence. Posey's addition to the Giants' ownership group is nothing but a stone cold win for the franchise. Giants Director of Pitching Brian Bannister hasn't been with the team all season, reports Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic. Bannister is reportedly unvaccinated, and MLB rules dictate that he isn't allowed at any team facilities. Bannister means so much to what the organization does from a pitching standpoint that Farhan Zaidi has allowed him to continue working in his role remotely. Bannister yields considerable influence over pitching acquisitions and helps pitchers reach peak performance. He lives in the Bay Area so he has been able to work with players off site, apparently. Vaccine mandates will likely be lifted at some point in the not-too-distant future, so Bannister should hopefully be able to return to business as usual not long from now, perhaps as soon as this offseason.

The San Francisco Giants have a lot of work to do this offseason. They must spend money to get back to being a highly competitive team. Giants chairman Greg Johnson spoke with The Athletic's Andrew Baggarly recently, and Johnson said that the SF Giants will do what it takes to put a "highly competitive" team on the field. Johnson said the Giants would spend what it took. He used the numbers $175 million and $180 million, and said "or higher than that." While on the one hand it's not great to hear him point to exact numbers that aren't particularly high, it is nice to hear Johnson say the Giants will do whatever it takes. Now they must go into the offseason and prove it. Locked On Giants estimates that the Giants will spend about $103 million on about 22 players when all the dust settles in terms of team and player options and arbitration raises. This means the SF Giants could re-sign Carlos Rodón for $22.5 million per year and still only have about a $125 million payroll. This leaves plenty of room for a marquee addition like Aaron Judge (likely to command about $35 million per year) or Trea Turner ($30+ million per year) and still come in below the numbers Johnson referenced. Another significant addition, perhaps Brandon Nimmo at $20 million per year, would push them up against those $175-180 million numbers. Johnson also gave a vote of confidence to Giants' president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi. While this season hasn't gone as hoped, Johnson still believes in Zaidi and the direction of the team. Ultimately, the first two seasons were destined to be losing ones regardless. In 2020 the Giants actually showed signs of real promise. They carried that into 2021 and won a franchise record 107 games. So in reality, there's only been one truly disappointing season under Zaidi, and it's this one. He more than deserves at least one more year, but there is now a lot of pressure on the team to have a big offseason. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:
