Looking At The Giants Right Now

The Giants had come into the year with a notable roster.

That said, they had a tough season under first-year manager Tony Vitello.

After making trades (and dealing with injuries), the Giants (65-97) finished the 2026 regular season as the fourth-place team in the National League West.
