Giants promote Buster Posey to president of baseball operations, replacing Farhan Zaidi
The San Francisco Giants have fired president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi after an 80–82 season and fourth-place finish in the National League West. The team is promoting former NL MVP and three-time World Series champion Buster Posey into Zaidi’s position leading baseball operations.
Zaidi was hired in November 2018 after front office stints with the Oakland Athletics and Los Angeles Dodgers. During his tenure, the Giants compiled a record of 453–506 with one NL West division title. Their surprising 107–55 record in 2021 was the only season under Zaidi in which San Francisco finished above .500.
Posey became part of the Giants’ ownership group in 2022 and joined the team’s board of directors after retiring as an active player. The 2010 NL Rookie of the Year and seven-time All-Star approached the team about an ownership stake.
