Giants: Too late to save

That’s Amaury News and Commentary

By Amaury Pi-Gonzalez

At the eve of the month of June, the San Francisco Giants find themselves in fourth place in the NL Western Division,15 games out of first place.

In the history of Major League Baseball, no team has made the postseason with the numbers the Giants are entering the month of May. The Giants should begin today thinking about next year (if there is one), as it is increasingly likely that, in 2027, the players will be locked out by MLB owners.

In my opinion, this 2026 season is a wash. The team must begin making decisions now for the future. What would they do? They are in Colorado, playing the worst team in the National League, after losing the first two of a three-game series.

The team keeps drawing well because Oracle Park is a great ballpark, and the fans are loyal, paying for the $20 beer and all the other stuff that comes with it. It is a party atmosphere, especially during weekend afternoon games. Although this season doesn’t look like they will win 81 games, as last season, which, although it is not a great record, is exactly a .500 team, they have the dubious possibility of finishing last in the division.

The last time the Giants finished last was in 2017, when they went 84-98 in the Western Division.

The best slogan for the San Francisco Giants at this time during this 2026 season could be described in one very common sentence: in all sports, ” Wait ’till next year.”
