The San Francsico Giants have lost a lot of games this season, and they just lost their General Manager. Scott Harris, the Giants' GM since November 2019, is leaving to become the Detroit Tigers' President of Baseball Operations. It's a major promotion for Harris, who will now assume Farhan Zaidi's role with his new organization. The Giants and Zaidi will be tasked with hiring a replacement GM, something they'll want to get done as quickly as possible given that the offseason is fast approaching and the SF Giants have tons of work to do.
The Giants are still a very desirable organization to work for and there should be no shortage of interest for this role. Despite the rough 2022 campaign for the San Francisco Giants, they're still a big-market team with a beautiful ballpark, and are primed to be big spenders this offseason (at least that's what we hope).
The Giants finally wrapped up their miserable season series with the Dodgers. The SF Giants ended up going 4-15 against their rivals, the worst winning percentage they've ever had against LA since moving to San Francisco. It was a miserable season vs. LA, and the talent disparity was monumental. The Giants can and must add to this roster in a meaningful way this offseason. Expectations shouldn't necessarily be to match the talent of the Dodgers in one offseason, but they should at least make themselves a somewhat obvious playoff team. If they don't, pressure will start to mount in a serious way on this front office, which will be entering year five of the Farhan Zaidi Era. A new GM could bring some welcomed new perspectives.
