| |  |  | |  |  | | Farhan Zaidi: “Anytime you have a disappointing season, it's my job to evaluate everything in my purview, and it's their job to evaluate everything in my purview, plus me. And so I think that process is happening, and I understand it.” | | | | 9/24/24, 5:16 PM |

| |  |  | |  |  | | Farhan Zaidi offered several ideas about what the Giants' offseason priorities and key decisions will be. He also acknowledged that he can't be certain he'll be the one making those decisions. nytimes.com/athletic/57926… | | | | 9/24/24, 7:45 PM |

-FARHAN COMMENTS—- DIDNRT LIKE HE ANSWERED QUESTION ABOUT SNELL— LIKE A CONCESSION THEY WONT GET HIM……
*HERES THE ISSUE — TOO MANY PLAYERS IN THE SAME PLACE—- NOT ESTABLISHED— TAKE THESE YOUNG GUYS AND GET MLB PLAYERS… HITTERS—-
-NEED A STAR BAT
-NEED SNELL BACK
-TOO MANY YOUNG PLAYERS NOT DEVELOPED—- TRADE SOME A GLUT OF NOT SURE PLAYERS
Here’s how Zaidi addressed a few other topics:
On Blake Snell: “He’s going to go into free agency the same way he did last offseason. He wants to keep an open mind. … I think we’ll be pretty high on his list, but we’re respecting the fact that he’s going to want to play out for agency. I expect us to be part of that, but it should be very competitive with the way he’s pitched. Maybe we have a seat at the table, but it’s gonna be big table.”
On Bryce Eldridge: “Once a guy is in Double A, Triple A, they’re in the picture. I think it behooves us to have a roster that’s flexible enough that if he’s ready next year, even early in the year, there’s a spot for him. So that’s going to be really important for us. I don’t anticipate us really locking up the first base and DH spot.”
On Mike Yastrzemski: “I have a soft spot for Yaz. I think he’s a really under appreciated player, a total pro and he does everything well. So I’m personally big fan of his, and I think he can play a big role on a really good team.”
On Marco Luciano: “There’s a lot of factors that go into how he’s gotten to this point. Some are just the very typical challenges of development of a young player, getting to the big leagues and getting over the hump in the big leagues. Some are things like the missed COVID year and the fact that he was an international signee and had to go on the 40-man roster last year. That sort of accelerates time frames in a way. He’s still a very young player from both an age standpoint and an experience standpoint. If we were talking through some of these positional changes from short to second, and thinking about the outfield, and he was in Double A or something like that, it wouldn’t be on the radar. But because he’s on the 40-man roster, because we’ve seen him up here, it’s a much bigger story and understandably so.
“We’ve met a lot with Marco. He’s in a really good head space. I think he understands where he is in his career and things he needs to get better at. Despite some of the reports, there isn’t really a lot of disagreement on where he is in his development. I don’t think anybody feels like he’s a turnkey major-league infielder. He’s going to start working on some outfield stuff at Papago (the Giants’ minor-league complex) this week and we’ll see where it goes from there. We’re going to have an opening at second base next year. We don’t want to totally close that off, but we’ve told him if he wants that job, he’s got to come to spring training and be able to demonstrate that he can play an average or plus second base at a big league level. It’s kind of up to him in terms of the offseason and what he does with it.

"...There are a lot of indications that there are a number of board members who are ready to move on... I have heard that for many of them they believe it's time for a new start." | | | | 9/25/24, 9:19 AM |

| | | | | | | "In terms of him wanting to meet with us, I don't think he necessarily would have summoned us if he knew he was safe or if he knew that he was for sure gone. I think he doesn't know yet."
Baggarly thinks Zaidi is currently unsure of his job status.

This summer, on the anniversary of his injury, we made the case that TJ should be more collectible as well as be in the HOF.
