The San Francisco Giants are aggressively reversing course on their rebuild, pivoting from a roster retool to an all-in push for another World Series trophy. After surprising the front office with their resilience, the team is officially shifting into buyer mode ahead of the upcoming trade deadline.
The Transcript: "One More Shot"
Podium: San Francisco, CA | Press Room
"Look, let’s be completely honest with each other. After we took the eventual champs to a grueling, deciding Game 5 in the opening round, we took a long, hard look in the mirror. We had a brilliant five year run with a championship mixed in there that we will forever cherish. But we thought it was time to turn the page. You saw it in our offseason strategy when we moved on from guys like Wheeler and Webb. Both of them were incredible for us, and we will be forever grateful for what they helped us build.
Internally, as this season kicked off, we fully expected to continue that transition. We were scouting, preparing, and putting the pieces in place for the long-term rebuild.
But then, something changed.
This team, they just refused to go away. They clawed, they battled, and they showed a level of heart that made us completely rethink our timeline. After having some serious, productive conversations with our staff and ownership (really just me, and the voices in my head), we realized we couldn't just stand pat. We decided to take one more stab at this. We are positioning ourselves for one more shot at possibly bringing another trophy to this city.
Now, there is still so much work to be done. The blueprint (side note Blueprint is one of my all-time favorite songs-Fugazi for those that don’t know) is there, but it’s ultimately up to the players to execute and to the Dice Gods to make it happen when it matters most. We just felt that passing up an opportunity to seize the moment would be a disservice to the guys in that clubhouse and our fanbase.
We love trophies and we are going all in to try and get another one." And if not, Bonfire with Strat cards as the fuel.
Lets Roll!!
