San Francisco Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi has found himself under heavy criticism to start the offseason. After multiple unpopular decisions, it’s clear that he doesn’t exactly have the full support of the fanbase behind him.
But at the same time, it’s evident that that’s not what he’s seeking.
The Giants entered the offseason with hopes of a brighter future after years of lackluster play following their World Series runs earlier in the decade. A new era was set to be ushered in.
Gone was Bruce Bochy and it would be up to Zaidi — who had just completed his first year with the organization — to select a new manager and hire a general manager to lead the franchise into this new era.
