Larry Baer believes a talented group developed through the minor leagues will determine the future of SF Giants. The SF Giants CEO is known to sign nine-figure deals but insisted that players who are not yet in the big league will contribute to the Giants’ performance next offseason. When discussing the financial future, Baer added that the progress depends on the team’s farm system and everyone around it.
The Giants have been trying to stay competitive while rebuilding a team from the outside. The ownership still has farm system ideas, and seems it did not take Zaidi from Dodgers simply because of his free agency. He has a record of building from within to make additions during the offseason. The Giants under Zaidi and Scott Harris are yet to guarantee over $20 million despite a history of handing out multi-year deals. See this article for more information.
