PHILADELPHIA — The San Francisco Giants are still paying Bobby Evans and John Barr, but both executives were stripped of their power last fall.
With a week remaining in the 2018 season, Evans was removed from his position as general manager. Two months later, Barr was replaced as the Giants’ director of amateur scouting by Michael Holmes.
The reasons for their dismissals were rather clear. Evans presided over a club that was headed for its second straight losing season following a second half collapse in 2016 while Barr was in charge of a bottom-five farm system that wasn’t producing nearly enough homegrown major leaguers.
