Ex-Giants President opens up about falling short in Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, Bryce Harper free agency pursuits (Getty)
The San Francisco Giants moved on from Farhan Zaidi after the 2024 season, firing the president of baseball operations to end his six-year tenure with the franchise.
Zaidi joined the Giants in 2018, and during his reign, San Francisco managed to clinch a postseason berth only once in 2021. He was replaced by franchise legend and former catcher Buster Posey in the offseason.
Although the Giants didn't enjoy much success under Zaidi, the franchise always aspires to improve its performance by adding marquee players to the roster. During Zaidi's tenure, the Giants were linked with superstar free agents Bryce Harper, Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge. However, San Francisco failed to sign either of the players.
