Giants Fire General Manager Pete Putila
6 days agoNew San Francisco Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey announced on Tuesday that the team fired general manager Pete Putila. Posey is already making moves after taking over for Farhan Zaidi after the 2024 regular season, which ended without a trip to the playoffs. "We're going to hire a GM," Posey said at his introductory press conference Tuesday at Oracle Park. "That's going to be one of the first tasks right out the gate. Pete's been made aware that he'll be moving off the GM role. We'll work through what some other responsibilities might look like for him." Putila was named the Giants' GM almost two years ago by Zaidi and kept a relatively low public profile. Posey, who has no prior front-office experience, is expected to lean heavily on those around him in his new role in San Francisco. Assistant GM Jeremy Shelley could be a candidate for a promotion.
