Farhan Zaidi has 24 hours to accept baseball’s most dangerous mission, per report

Jon Morosi is at it again, following up on his own report from yesterday about the Giants targeting Farhan Zaidi for their head of baseball operations. I said then that the report was a little bit vague because of sourcing, but this latest tweet is much more clear:

After this morning’s update that saw other reporters chiming in with their own confirmations, I raised our alert level to DUE DILIGENCE / HIGH ALERT.

We don’t yet have confirmation from the team or a source close to the team (I’m already planning to strikethrough all this with a supporting tweet), but Morosi would be taking a pretty big swing that’d be well outside of his journalist persona to make such a claim if he or his source weren’t sure this was the case, so let’s focus on the facts:

The Giants want to hurt the Dodgers and they’re willing to upend a generation of work to do it.
