Both director of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi and manager Gabe Kapler are set to have lame-duck 2024 seasons.
So let’s dig a bit deeper: Does Zaidi, the Giants’ top baseball decision-maker, plan on holding contract extension negotiations with his manager this offseason?
And while that’s understandable given his own contract situation, but it does stand in contrast to a few years ago.And for the record, I don’t know what the right decision is for the Giants when it comes to Zaidi, Kapler, or the single entity I call FarGabe. Extending either seems bold, given where the organization is in the National League pecking order, but starting over in the front office, dugout, or both would be just as preposterous.
Kapler, meanwhile, is a character, and not in a lovable way. He’s been the manager of the Giants for four years, and a small part of me still thinks he’s a world-class performance artist putting on an act. A classic baseball man, he is not. And that makes him an even easier scapegoat than most managers when a team struggles.
