In news that is simultaneously shocking and not at all surprising, the San Francisco Giants wasted no time shaking things up this offseason. Less than 20 hours after their season ended with a loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, the team announced that they had parted ways with president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi ... and replaced him with franchise legend Buster Posey.
Zaidi’s departure is hardly surprising, especially with how many rumors and reports had surfaced in the past weeks and months. And especially after the Giants failed to secure a winning record for the fifth time in his six years at the helm.
