Dodgers Hire Farhan Zaidi as Special Advisor

Farhan Zaidi is making a return to the Los Angeles Dodgers as a special advisor after being fired from his position as president of baseball operations with the San Francisco Giants. Zaidi previously served as the Dodgers' general manager from 2014 to 2018 before joining the Giants in 2018. His tenure with the Giants included a notable 107-win season in 2021, but he was ultimately let go after the team struggled to secure top free agents and finished below expectations in subsequent years. At the Dodgers, Zaidi will assist owner Mark Walter with his various sports interests, further strengthening the team's front office. This move follows the Dodgers' recent signings of former Giants players Blake Snell and Michael Conforto, signaling a strategic shift within the organization. Zaidi's experience is expected to enhance the Dodgers' already formidable roster as they aim for continued success in the league.
