The San Francisco Giants are always one of the more competitive teams in MLB. If they fail to qualify for the postseason, they at least are typically in the hunt for the playoffs at the end of the regular season. They hardly ever bottom out and when the expectation is for them to be among […]

While the MLB doesn’t exactly have its own version of the NFL’s “Black Monday” – where a siege of coaches get the boot immediately after the regular season ends – there are typically plenty of managerial openings that pop up throughout the month of October.
