 2010, 12, 14, San Francisco Giants, their manager was Bruce Bochy all three of those years. We saw the Giants front office in those odd number years, 2011, 2013, 2015. They still were gunning. The Carlos Beltran trade comes to mind. They traded for Carlos Beltran in 2011, ended up missing the postseason because they were not willing to give up on the season because teams that are defending a title, they do not want to give up on the repeat.
