A day after president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi was named the 2021 MLB Executive of the Year, the San Francisco Giants got right back to business with their usual flurry of moves. Only this time it came with the coaching staff, rather than with players.
The Giants announced three staffing moves on Tuesday. Taira Uematsu, who had been the bullpen catcher for the last 14 years, has been promoted to an assistant coach position. Uematsu is an amazing story, as he started with the team as an intern, and is now a key part of the coaching staff, and the first first coach in MLB history to be born in Japan.
