Giants face defensive challenges despite pitching focus for 2027

Buster Posey has highlighted pitching as a key focus for the San Francisco Giants' offseason strategies. While the bullpen has struggled and injuries have affected the rotation, the team's defensive performance has emerged as a critical issue. A recent analysis shows the Giants ranked 24th in Defensive Runs Above Average, committing an MLB-high 102 errors. Players Willy Adames and Jung Hoo Lee are among the poorest defensive performers, complicating potential roster improvements. The Giants will need to address both pitching and defense to improve ahead of the 2027 season.
