The Giants, mathematically speaking, aren’t out of the race for the playoffs. They’re six games back of the San Diego Padres of the final NL Wild Card spot with 53 games remaining, and their roster is still talented enough to go on a run. How they go about winning ballgames, though, will look different.

The San Francisco Giants were once in a position to make a postseason push, but they ended up selling at the trade deadline.

It might surprise you that Posey would take such a clear selling posture, but the warnings have been there for months.

The Giants snapped a six-game losing streak on Friday night at Citi Field with a 4-3 victory in 10 innings over the New York Mets. All-Star Randy Rodríguez, the team’s new closer after Tyler Rogers and Camilo Doval were traded, recorded his first save (and second overall) in his new role.
