The Giants have promoted an internal hire, Zach Minasian, to be the new General Manager.
Minasian was elevated from his VP of Professional Scouting role, having been hired into that slot by Farhan in 2019. Prior to the Giants, Minasian spent 14 years with the Brewers. He has two decades-plus in scouting, which was Posey's priority. At Milwaukee, Minasian was the youngest scouting director in baseball at age 27. His father was the longtime clubhouse manager for the Texas Rangers, and Zack, Sr. brought all four of his sons to the ballpark on many occasions.
Minasian is a bit of a curveball...people thought the interior hire might be Jeremy Shelley, who's been with the team for 20 years.
Minasian's brother Perry is the GM of the Los Angeles Angels. He's also the godson of Tommy Lasorda. Lasorda was not happy when Minasian informed him he was going to work for the Giants.
The Dodgers' most recent World Series win was their eighth, pulling them into a tie with the Giants for fifth most titles in MLB history.
