San Francisco Giants Fire Farhan Zaidi After Six Years, Name Buster Posey New President of Baseball Operations
Sep 30, 2024, 05:12 PM
The San Francisco Giants have announced a significant leadership change, parting ways with Farhan Zaidi, who served as the President of Baseball Operations for six years. Buster Posey, a franchise icon and former catcher, will take over the role. Posey, a seven-time All-Star and a member of the Giants' board of directors, is expected to bring a new era to the team's baseball operations. This decision marks a pivotal shift for the Giants, who have struggled to post a winning record in five of Zaidi's six seasons. Posey's transition from player to executive comes just three years after his retirement from professional baseball. His ascendance has been discussed in Giants HQ for months, and he will work alongside Bob Melvin to restore the franchise.
