LAS VEGAS -- When Farhan Zaidi interviewed with Larry Baer for the first time, he blew the Giants CEO away with his curiosity and commitment to try anything he feels might be a solution for a struggling franchise. In meetings this week, Zaidi has similarly impressed long-standing team employees with his approach to problem solving.
The Giants' new president of baseball operations does have some limits, though.
"We're not going to have a masked reliever come in and do a big reveal," he said Tuesday night, laughing.
No, but he very likely will have a reliever come in and throw the first pitch of a game.
