Farhan Zaidi was fired Monday as president of baseball operations for the San Francisco Giants. Zaidi left his position as general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2018 to join the division rivals.

Zaidi was let go by San Francisco despite having one guaranteed year left on his contract. His departure comes after the Giants missed the playoffs for the third straight season.

The Giants finished fourth in the National League with an 80-82 record. In the Zaidi era, San Francisco posted a 453-417 record from 2019-2024.

With Zaidi as president of baseball operations, the Giants recorded just one winning season and one postseason appearance.

“We have made the decision to part ways with Farhan Zaidi,” Giants chairman Greg Johnson said in a statement released Monday. “We appreciate Farhan’s dedication to the organization and his passion for making an impact in our community during his six years with the Giants.”

“Ultimately, the results are not what we hoped for, and while that responsibility is shared by all of us, we have decided that a change is necessary,” Johnson continued. “While these decisions are not easy, we believe it is time for new leadership to take our team to the next level so we can consistently compete for championships. I wish Farhan and his family nothing but the best for the future. ”

The Giants simultaneously announced Zaidi’s replacement in franchise star Buster Posey. Zaidi’s departure is the second leadership change since 2023. The Giants parted ways with manager Gabe Kapler last season.

Zaidi was named general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2014. Under Zaidi, the Dodgers made their first World Series appearance in 29 years. The Dodgers lost both of their World Series appearances in the Zaidi era in 2017 and 2018.

Between 2017 and 2018, Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman lost Zaidi, farm director Kapler and vice president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulous to promotions at rival clubs.

Following Zaidi’s departure, the Dodgers’ general manager position was not filled until 2022. The vacant position left Friedman responsible for large and small tasks in the front office.

Brandon Gomes was promoted from pitching coordinator to farm director to assistant general manager before assuming his current role as general manager of the Dodgers.

Notably, Gomes executed the three-team trade that added utility man Tommy Edman to the Dodgers’ clubhouse. Gomes was also the mastermind responsible for the signing of Teoscar Hernández on the free agency market last winter.
