Overview

  • San Francisco Giants president Farhan Zaidi is interviewing internal candidates this week to replace fired manager Gabe Kapler.
  • Zaidi is relying on input from Buster Posey and plans to reach out to other teams to interview additional candidates.
  • The managerial search is Zaidi's current priority, not his own contract negotiations.
  • Despite a losing 2022 season, Zaidi believes the manager job is highly desirable.
  • The Giants seek a new leader after unexpectedly finishing 81-81 this year following a franchise-record 107 wins in 2021.
