Good morning, baseball fans!
President of baseball operations for the San Francisco Giants, Farhan Zaidi, signed a five year contract prior to the 2019 season. And though for me it still feels like 2019 was just last year, this season will be the last year of that contract.
The Giants ownership group would therefore have two options to keep Zaidi in place beyond that. The team has an option for the 2024 season, or they could work out an extension; either prior to 2024 or afterwards.
After a mediocre 2022 season made less palatable by the Icarus tale that was the success of the 2021 team, there was speculation that the lack of public facing discussion about Zaidi’s future with the organization must mean that it was uncertain.
