The San Francisco Giants have been mediocre for the last four seasons, with a record of 321-327 since the start of 2022. The team's first major-league game was held against the New York Yankees on March 25. Manager Bob Melvin was replaced by University of Tennessee's Tony Vitello. Despite this, the team's coaching staff has remained unchanged, with additions to Willy Adames and Rafael Devers. If San Francisco is to compete for a playoff spot in 2026, internal development will be the key. Key players to play well for the team include Devers and Bryce Eldridge, who are both left-handed hitters and are limited to first base and designated hitter respectively.
