If y'all thought I was harsh on the Giants, check out this guy Bryan Murphy from McCovey Chronicles:

The bottom line is it always starts at the top. The Giants' owners aren't interested in and don't prioritize winning. Maybe they once did, or they had people in baseball operations who could overcome that indifference before when they won 3 WS. They sure AF don't now.

Not sure how much you read MC or Murphy.  He tends to be somewhat sarcastic.  
I’ve been screaming for years about ownership not spending.  BUT they certainly showed a willingness to do so last winter.  Also, Johnson makes an easy fall guy do to his fathers political contributions.  But the fact is - it’s an ownership group.  If they don’t like what Greg is doing, they can oust him.  It happened to Neukom.

And Zaidi, ultimately, is responsible for closing deals.

‘24 will be Zaidi’s watershed year.  It depends on how the development of the yutes goes.  If Luciano, Harrison and Bailey start being the new “core”, joined by Webb, and they get some contributions from at least a couple from the group of Meckler, Matos, Schmitt, Beck, Winn, Whisenhunt, Wisely, Fitzgerald and Black, things will look brighter.

If they don’t get that boost, we will be wondering who the next head of baseball ops will be at this time next year.
