CARLSBAD — A few days after shaking up the Giants' baseball operations department, CEO Larry Baer said he would methodically look for a “great baseball mind.”
The Giants now have hired a man known as one of the best in the game.
Farhan Zaidi will switch to the other side of the rivalry, a source told NBC Sports Bay Area and the team later confirmed Tuesday, going from general manager of the Dodgers to president of baseball operations for the Giants. Zaidi, 41, finally will have complete control of his own front office, reporting only to ownership.
