"On Nov. 6, 2014, the Los Angeles Dodgers hired Farhan Zaidi as their 11th general manager in franchise history. He joined a Dodgers front office that was headed by president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman. With Zaidi part of the equation, the Dodgers posted one of the best seasons in club history when the team established a then-Los Angeles record with 104 wins in 2017 and won the National League pennant while earning recognition from Baseball America as its Organization of the Year."
"During Zaidi's time in Los Angeles from 2015-2018, the Dodgers won NL West titles every season and two pennants (2017, 2018). The Dodgers also went an MLB-best 379-270 (.584) with Zaidi as the club's general manager. Following the 2018 season, Zaidi was named San Francisco Giants president of baseball operations, and remained in that role until September 2024. Among his accomplishments during that stretch was taking the NL West title away from the Dodgers in 2021 behind a Giants' franchise-record 107 wins."
"The Dodgers did not immediately replace Zaidi in the general manager role, but Brandon Gomes was promoted to that position before the 2022 season. Before entering baseball, Zaidi served as business development associate for Small World Media, the fantasy sports division of The Sporting News, and also worked as a management consultant for the Boston Consulting Group. He earned his bachelor of science degree in economics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1998"
