Giants Dead Last in MLB Power Rankings
Getting off to a tough start in 2026 MLB season puts San Francisco Giants looking up at rest of baseball.
With the decision to bring in Tony Vitello as manager for the San Francisco Giants, the franchise wanted to change things around. The ballclub hasn't responded in the past couple of seasons well under Bob Melvin's leadership. Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey and others in the organization looked to Vitello as a way to bring a new voice to the dugout.
How's it going so far? Not too good. At least, that's how things are being viewed by The Athletic in the outlet's latest MLB Power Rankings.
Yes, Giants fans, the team is slotted in the No. 30 position among 30 MLB clubs. Entering Wednesday night's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers , San Francisco is 18-24 and 6 1/2 games behind the San Diego Padres in the National League West Division.
When playing at Oracle Park this season, the Giants have a 10-12 record. On the road, though, the Giants are 8-12. In looking at runs scored versus runs allowed, the Giants are a minus-38.
