Buster Posey Takes Helm as Giants' President of Baseball Operations

Posey aims to balance analytics with traditional strategies, emphasizing culture and accountability.

Buster Posey, a former Giants catcher and franchise icon, has been introduced as the team's new president of baseball operations.
Posey replaces Farhan Zaidi, whose tenure was marked by an analytics-heavy approach and mixed results on the field.
Posey plans to empower manager Bob Melvin with more decision-making authority, moving away from Zaidi's micromanagement style.
The new leadership aims to blend old-school baseball values with modern analytics, fostering a team culture rooted in the Giants' rich history.
Key priorities include hiring a new general manager and targeting free agent pitcher Blake Snell to bolster the roster.
