The San Francisco Giants are one of the most peculiar teams in MLB.
Their roster, on paper, does not look like it can compete for a World Series.
Yet, they seem to find themselves in playoff contention year in and year out.
This season the Giants are 75-71 and tied for the third and final Wild Card spot.
They are in a three-way tie with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Cincinnati Reds for that last spot.
You have to give plenty of credit to manager Gabe Kapler for getting the best out of his players.
San Francisco has a roster nowhere near as good as the other contending teams.
Yet, they are in a position to get into the postseason.
Giants owner Greg Johnson made his thoughts clear on the future of Kapler and GM Farhan Zaidi.
According to Sporting Green, Johnson said Zaidi and Kapler are not going anywhere.

The Giants getting a playoff spot does not seem to affect what will happen with Zaidi and Kapler.
It will be interesting to see what this team can do with some better players.
This past offseason the Giants made a strong push for Aaron Judge.
Also, they tried to sign Carlos Correa before injury issues popped up.
You can tell Zaidi wants to land the Giants a star.
It will be interesting to see what moves the Giants make this offseason.
Adding a few impact players to the roster could put them over the top.
Kapler and Zaidi seem to be the right men for the job and they are not going anywhere.
