Dusty Baker Returns to San Francisco Giants as Special Adviser

The seventh-winningest manager in MLB history, Baker aims to help the Giants improve after a disappointing 2023 season.

Dusty Baker, the seventh-winningest manager in MLB history, is returning to the San Francisco Giants as a special adviser to baseball operations.
Baker, who led the Houston Astros to a World Series championship in 2022, retired from managing after the 2023 season but expressed a desire to continue contributing to a team in an advisory capacity.
During his previous tenure with the Giants from 1993 to 2002, Baker led the team to win the NL pennant and was named the NL Manager of the Year three times.
The Giants had a disappointing season in 2023, finishing last in the NL West division with only 79 wins, and are hoping Baker's return will help improve their performance.
Baker's return has been warmly welcomed by the Giants organization and fans, with Giants President of Baseball Operations, Farhan Zaidi, expressing excitement about working with Baker again and learning from his experience and perspective on the game.
