Buster Posey, the Giants' President of Baseball Operations, has been accused of building a poor baseball team for the 2026 season. Despite the team's hopes at the start of the season, they were 18 games under.500 less than two weeks ago. However, Posey's ability to pawn off players such as Luis Arraez, Robbie Ray, Tyler Mahle, Heliot Ramos, and Erik Miller for better-than-expected returns was seen as inspiring. He also brought back two Padres' top prospects and managed to secure significant value from Erik Miller from the Red Sox. These deals align with the Giants’ widely admired draft success over the past two years. The team should have a top-five farm system and Posey can sell more than any other general manager.
