SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants are in a win-win situation regarding their search for a general manager ... probably.
A cross-section of figures within the industry contacted Tuesday by MLB.com showered praise upon the Giants' known candidates for the vacancy: Kim Ng, MLB's senior vice president for baseball operations; Jason McLeod, the Cubs' senior vice president of scouting and player development; and Amiel Sawdaye, the D-backs' senior vice president and assistant general manager.
"Any of the three would be outstanding," said a longtime scout and front-office employee who knows each candidate and is currently with a National League club.
