The San Francisco Giants are now 11 years removed from their dynastic run at the beginning of the 2010s. As an organization, they could not be further away from that. Since their last championship in 2014, the Giants have made the postseason just twice, in 2016, losing in the NLDS to the Cubs, and in 2021, losing in the NLDS to the Dodgers.

That is just unacceptable for the standards the Giants organization should have, being once one of the premier organizations in the sport. So that begs the question of what is keeping the Giants from returning to the playoffs and back to the fall classic. The roster might be the biggest reason they have failed to reach the playoffs, though some parts could be present already, with some additions that need to be made this offseason.
