The Giants are entering year five of Farhan Zaidi’s regime and year four with manager Gabe Kapler, a braintrust two years removed from an improbable 107-win season and NL West crown, but after last year’s disappointing .500 finish, their ace and growing clubhouse leader, Logan Webb, said he’s hoping to see a culture change this season.
“This is a big year for us to change the culture,” Webb said. “There’s a lot of moving parts and a lot of parts that want to stay here for a long time and start their own culture change. We always look back to the ‘10, ‘12, ‘14 teams, like, we want to start our own that.”
Webb was speaking from inside a lounge behind home plate at Oracle Park, where a message was adorned on the walls and a few decorations: Good vibes only.
