Dodgers bring back former GM Farhan Zaidi in a special advisor role
LA TimesA familiar face is returning to the Dodgers’ front office. On Monday, the club brought back former general manager Farhan Zaidi in a special advisor role, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly. Zaidi, 48, formerly served as the team’s first general manager under president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman from 2015 to 2018. During that time, he helped build Dodgers rosters that won four division titles and two National League pennants, the club’s first since 1988; and aided in the acquisition of several unexpected stars, such as Max Muncy and Chris Taylor. While the Dodgers have since filled Zaidi’s void at GM with Brandon Gomes, Zaidi will take on a new role in Los Angeles now that includes closer coordination with Walter — who is also the owner of the Los Angeles Sparks, the Professional Women’s Hockey League and was part of Dodger co-owner Todd Boehly’s purchase of Premier League soccer club Chelsea in 2022.
