According to multiple reports on Tuesday evening, Farhan Zaidi will be leaving his general manager post in Los Angeles to accept the role of president of baseball operations for the San Francisco Giants.
Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle was the first to report Zaidi’s decision. The move was later confirmed by Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic.
Baggarly also indicated that Zaidi will be formally introduced at a news conference on Wednesday at 1:00 PM Pacific time.
Zaidi’s departure comes on the same day that Dodgers’ hitting coach Turner Ward packed his bags for Cincinnati and three days after third base coach Chris Woodward assumed the managerial vacancy for the Texas Rangers.
