20. San Francisco Giants (80-82, fourth in NL West, 725 runs scored, 717 runs allowed).
The story here isn’t going to be the .500 roster, which will once again play .500ish baseball. No, we’re all watching to see what Tony Vitello, hired away from the University of Tennessee with no pro baseball experience, will do running the Giants. His hire was the biggest swing Buster Posey has taken, bigger than the Willy Adames signing and the Rafael Devers trade. It’s Posey going well off the board to find a manager who fits his vision for the team he runs.
