Giants working to get GM in place as search for new manager begins

As he sat at the podium Tuesday and talked about all the work ahead of him, Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi laughed while telling a story about 2014. Zaidi was a rising star in the industry and had just been hired by Andrew Friedman, a similar talent, to serve as general manager of the Dodgers. "There was a lot of talk that this seems like a game of title inflation," Zaidi recalled.
