San Francisco finished fourth in the National League West with an 80-82 record in 2024 and went 453-417 overall in the Zaidi era (2019-2024).

«We have made the decision to part ways with Farhan Zaidi,» Giants chairman Greg Johnson said in a statement on Monday. «We appreciate Farhan's commitment to the organization and his passion for making an impact in our community during his six years with the Giants. Ultimately, the results have not been what we had hoped, and while that responsibility is shared by all of us, we have decided that a change is necessary. While these decisions are not easy, we believe it is time for new leadership to elevate our team so we can consistently contend for championships. I wish Farhan and his family nothing but the best moving forward.»

«As we look ahead, I'm excited to share that Buster Posey will now take on a greater role as the new President of Baseball Operations,» Johnson said. «We are looking for someone who can define, direct and lead this franchise's baseball philosophy and we feel that Buster is the perfect fit. Buster has the demeanor, intelligence and drive to do this job, and we are confident that he and Bob Melvin will work together to bring back winning baseball to San Francisco.»
