SAN FRANCISCO–After winning three World Series in the the first half of the decade, the San Francisco Giants have fallen behind their top National League West rival, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Following consecutive losing seasons, the Giants are attempting to reverse disturbing trends and compete with the back-to-back National League pennant winners.
The first step? Hiring away one of the Dodgers’ most coveted executives.
The Giants announced Tuesday that they’ve hired former Dodgers general manager Farhan Zaidi as their new president of baseball operations, ushering in a bold new era for a franchise in desperate need of a makeover.
