Part 2/8:
One significant change that is often overlooked is the Giants' recent front office overhaul. In October 2024, the organization decided to part ways with general manager Farhan Zaidi, who held the position for six years. His departure followed a lackluster performance that left the organization stagnant. Enter Buster Posey: the beloved seven-time All-Star catcher and three-time World Series champion who made an unexpected transition from player to general manager. Posey's familiarity with the organization is expected to serve him well in this new role, where he brings not only his experiences as a player but also insight gained from participating in the ownership group and board of directors shortly after his retirement.
