3 potential candidates to replace Farhan Zaidi in SF Giants front office

3 potential candidates to replace Farhan Zaidi in SF Giants front office

1. Kim Ng

Kim Ng was the general manager of the Miami Marlins from 2021-2023. She helped lead the Marlins to their first winning season in a 162 game season since 2009 last season. The Marlins decided to reorganize their front office after 2023 which would have made Ng second in command so she declined the option on her contract.

The Marlins forced out Ng from their front office and added Gabe Kapler as an assistant GM. They are dead last in the NL East right now and are 30-plus games behind the Philadelphia Phillies for first place. So, maybe forcing Ng out was not their best decision.

Earlier in her career, Ng was an assistant GM with the New York Yankes and worked with Brian Cashman. She has decades of experience that she would bring with her to the role. Also, given the fact that she has been around so long she would likely have more of an old school approach than Zaidi while also taking advantage of analytics when they are useful but not living or dying by them.

Personally, she would be my choice to run the Giants front office if Zaidi is fired. She has the experience and background to shake things up and get the Giants back on track. However, many fans would probably favor this next potential candidate to replace Zaidi.
