"It was quite a moment: The favorite son and the face of the dynasty, back in the Bay to save the organization and that faded black-and-orange tradition he helped build. So, a year later, what have we actually seen change? Not much, if we're being honest. The Giants are still a thoroughly .500 outfit, staring up at the blinding lights of the Dodgers and the perpetually contending Padres."
"Posey's first year was always going to be a feeling-out period. That's understandable: He took over as the most important dude in a major baseball operation with zero practical front-office experience. That's a tough ask, and he rightly received deference. But that grace period is over. Year 2 is a different beast. The winter of 2025-26 is officially the Buster Posey Offseason. New manager. New coaches. New players. And, if he nails it, a new direction for a club that desperately needs one."
Buster Posey assumed the role of President of Baseball Operations a year ago, returning amid high expectations. The Giants remained a .500 team, trailing the Dodgers and Padres despite signing Rafael Devers and Willy Adames. The organization still lacked a manager and retained a foundation described as a work in progress. Posey began with no practical front-office experience and received deference during a feeling-out first year. That grace period has ended. The 2025–26 offseason will focus on hiring a manager, new coaches, and additional players. Success this winter could set a new direction for a club that needs one.
