SAN FRANCISCO — Bryce Harper and the Giants met in the free agent slugger’s hometown of Las Vegas this week, and new San Francisco baseball operations chief Farhan Zaidi said the sides had mutual interest.
Zaidi, the club’s new president of baseball operations, would not say whether an offer was extended to the star outfielder. The Giants still hope to add two outfielders.
A fan posted that he had spotted Giants CEO Larry Baer in the Bellagio on Monday night.
“It’s kind of hard to deny when your CEO gets made in the casino,” Zaidi said with a chuckle Friday.
