Dodgers News: Farhan Zaidi fired, Shohei Ohtani HR ball, Tony Gonsolin

The Dodgers’ rivals up the coast have had had a no good, very bad season. The Giants finished under .500 for the second year in a row, and two out of three of their big signings in the offseason have been busts this year. They did extend Matt Chapman, but Blake Snell is expected to test free agency again and opt out of his contract, and Jung Hoo Lee only played 37 games before dislocating his shoulder and sitting out through the rest of the season.

Aside from Chapman, the Giants just can’t attract stars, and then they can’t keep them, either. A lot of that has had to do with the fumbling of their (now former) president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi, whose repeated gaffes throughout his tenure and clear failure to sustain success ended up getting him axed on Monday. Seems like the Dodgers may have foisted the right man onto San Fran.

The Giants extended Zaidi through 2026 in October of last year, but after finishing 18 games back of the Dodgers in first place, the buck had to stop somewhere. San Francisco gave him the bump and announced legendary Giant and likely Hall of Famer Buster Posey as their new PoBO in a clear effort to try to win fans back and reinvigorate the franchise by installing a beloved face.
