Zaidi declined to say whether Kapler would be back in 2024: ‘We have to look at everything.’
SAN FRANCISCO — Just a few weeks ago, Giants chairman Greg Johnson took a big swing by giving the club’s top brass his endorsement to run it back in 2024. Given an opportunity Thursday to back manager Gabe Kapler in the same way, the Giants’ top baseball boss, Farhan Zaidi, let the pitch go.
During his regular appearance on the club’s flagship network, KNBR, Zaidi was asked by host Adam Copeland if Johnson’s statement to the San Francisco Chronicle two weeks earlier, that Zaidi and Kapler “will both be here next year,” still held true. At the time, the Giants had survived a prolonged offensive funk and a rocky start to September and still held their postseason fate in their own hands. They have since lost 10 of 13 games, fallen from four games above .500 to three games below and from the odds-on favorite for the final National League wild card to eliminated before the final weekend of the season.
“Yeah, I mean, obviously, like I said at the time, really appreciate the support from ownership and the plan to have us both back,” Zaidi responded. “Right now our focus is kind of just getting through these last three games and finishing strong, finishing at .500. I think we all just have to look at how we can improve across the board. That’s the personnel on the roster, that’s our culture in the clubhouse …”Like Zaidi, Kapler has one year remaining on his contract.
“I think when he says ‘big changes,’ that can come in a lot of different forms. We need to rethink how we’re thinking about players, how we’re putting together the roster, our players need to think about the culture that they’re fostering, our manager and coaching staff need to think about the culture we have in our clubhouse. I think we need to rethink everything. So I’m glad he said that.
