After weeks of rumors linking the two parties, the San Francisco Giants have made an offer to Dodgers general manager Farhan Zaidi for the position of president of baseball operations, according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network. If hired, Zaidi’s first move would likely be to fill the general manager vacancy left after Bobby Evans was dismissed at the end of the 2018 season. Zaidi is expected to make his decision within 24 hours.

Zaidi, 41, has been the Dodgers’ GM since November 2014, previously holding multiple front office positions with the Oakland A’s for the 10 years prior. In Zaidi’s four years with Los Angeles, the Dodgers have won the NL West division title every year, making it to the World Series twice. The Giants haven’t won the division since 2012, when they also won the World Series title.
