SAN FRANCISCO — With fewer than three weeks left in the regular season, the San Francisco Giants have taken the first steps in their plans to institute widespread changes across various levels of the organization.
First-year president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said the organization has let go of 40 percent of the team’s pro scouts, many of whom played instrumental roles in helping the Giants win three World Series titles in five years.
Former Giants catcher Brian Johnson and former San Jose Giants manager Andy Skeels were among the scouts who did not have their contracts renewed.
