03 / Expiring commitments

Paths that end after 2026.

No tracked expiring commitments.

No Giants player appears on the sourced list of notable potential free agents after the 2026 season. The list is a curated notable class, not an exhaustive contract ledger — absence here is not a contract guarantee.

Source: MLB.com, “Here's how future free-agent classes look” (2026-05-02) — a notable-potential-class list, not a complete contract ledger.

04 / Acquisition board

Who actually fits this roster.

No open slots with sourced candidates.

Every Giants slot is either set under club control, not publicly decidable, or matched to a position with no sourced potential free agents. The board never fills space with unavailable names.

05 / CBA context

The rules this plays under.

Active ruleset
2022 MLB–MLBPA collective bargaining agreement

Not settled — subject to collective bargaining.

Threshold schedule per the 2022 CBA (source: House That Hank Built — CBT thresholds 2022–2026). No threshold exists for 2027 — every rule past this agreement’s term is subject to collective bargaining. See CBA Watch.

06 / Financial restraint

What we will not pretend to know.

Club payroll / commitments
Not tracked — Posterior does not load a payroll dataset with a reliable public source, so no dollar figure is shown.
Club spending capacity
Unknown. Internal budgets and spending authority are not public, and this page never states one.
What would appear here
Guaranteed commitments, arbitration estimates, options, and dead money — each only with a public source attached.
