The San Francisco Giants are experiencing a season so catastrophic, it makes tech startup failures look like minor hiccups.

After trading for Rafael Devers earlier this season with massive expectations, the team has spectacularly imploded, posting the worst record in Major League Baseball since the trade.

The Trade Heard 'Round the Bay

Buster Posey, in his first year as baseball operations chief, is now facing the harsh reality of a team that’s more lost than a tourist in the Mission District. The Giants went from playoff hopefuls to total rebuild mode faster than you can say “venture capital pivot”.

When Plan A Falls Apart

With a lineup featuring multi-million dollar contracts for Devers, Willy Adames, Matt Chapman, and Jung Hoo Lee, the team has dramatically underperformed. Their offensive strategy has devolved to desperate bunting - a move so painful it’s like watching a startup try to pivot without a clear strategy.

The Silver Lining?

Posey might be using the remainder of 2025 to assess talent, give younger players experience, and potentially make strategic trades. The goal now: set up for a more competitive 2026 season.

Bottom line? The Giants aren’t just rebuilding - they’re completely deconstructing and reimagining their entire baseball identity.
