Dodgers have to figure out how to replace Farhan Zaidi
In the early days of the 2017 season, a name on the transaction wire piqued the interest of Farhan Zaidi. In four seasons as the Dodgers general manager, collaborating with president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman, Zaidi distinguished himself with a keen eye for talent on the margins. When former vice president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos departed the front office last winter to take over the Braves, the Dodgers did not hire an immediate replacement. So it’s just trying to figure out, between all the various staffing things, how to prioritize.” As general manager, Zaidi’s portfolio ranged from analytics to trade negotiations to amateur scouting. “It allows you to bring in more upper-level talent,” said David Forst, who became general manager of Oakland in 2015 when Billy Beane was promoted to executive vice president of baseball operations.
