When the San Francisco Giants hired former Dodgers General Manager Farhan Zaidi to take over as the team’s President of Baseball Operations, it marked a wholesale change in the organization. Zaidi — along with Brian Sabean and Larry Baer — would hire a GM, and presumably a new crop of assistants and advisers in the front office.
The team is still without the GM, but they’re in the process of adding a nice name to the organization, as reports say that they are finalizing a deal with J.P. Ricciardi, who would become a senior adviser.
