THE San Francisco Giants are poised to enter a new era under the leadership of a first-ever president of baseball operations in Buster Posey after missing seven playoff series in the last eight years.

If anyone knows what it takes to get the Giants back to a place where they’re contending for championships, it’s one of the superstars of the San Francisco teams that won three World Series titles in five years to kick off the 2010s in what was a gold medal run. era of baseball in the Bay Area.

Although the team has missed out on some key free agents in the past, including Aaron judges And Shohei Ohtaniperhaps the new era of leadership will change the team’s luck when it comes to signing the best players available on the market.

Many have long considered the Giants to be serious contenders for free agency this winter. Juan Sotobut it remains to be seen if the team can actually land him.

That being said, it appears there has been a definite shift in both urgency and overall mindset from the former president of baseball operations. Farhan Zaidi in Posey because new life has been injected.

As the Hot Stove period gets ready to really kick off, Bob Nightengale of USA TODAY said to keep an eye on San Francisco this offseason.

“Buster Posey’s campaign promise to Giants fans? ‘Make the Giants great again,'” he wrote. “The Giants, tired of all the analytics, platooning and bullpen games, are going old school with a renewed emphasis on scouting. That’s why Posey is now in charge instead of Farhan Zaidi. This is why Zack Minasian is their new general manager instead of an Ivy Leaguer and this is why the Giants will be fascinating to watch to see what moves they make.

As Posey and his new general manager prepare to take the free agency route, fans are tired of the old one and absolutely starving for a can’t-miss superstar.

Just one major off-season move could get everyone excited for the season.

It’s been a dark day recently at Oracle Park and it seems like it’s time to turn back the clock in San Francisco.

If Posey can sign some of the best free agents available, that would certainly be a tremendous start.
