"Farhan Zaidi's Plans for SF Giants: Managerial Search, Season Priorities, and Offseason Changes"

Farhan Zaidi, the president of baseball operations for the San Francisco Giants, provided an update on the team's managerial search, stating that interviews with internal candidates will likely start this week. Zaidi expects to interview one or two current Giants staff members and will also seek permission to interview candidates from other organizations. He anticipates having a new manager in place by the start of the offseason in early November and plans to involve players, including Logan Webb, in the decision-making process. Zaidi does not anticipate any issues with his own status as a potential "lame duck" executive and believes the Giants' managerial position is highly sought after.

"Giants Part Ways with Gabe Kapler, Playoff Appearance Falls Short"

The San Francisco Giants have fired manager Gabe Kapler after missing the playoffs for the third time in four years. Despite leading the team to a franchise-record 107 wins and a postseason berth in 2021, Kapler's overall performance fell short, with the Giants playing .500 ball in his other three years as manager. The team's disappointing second half and a reported lack of focus in the clubhouse likely contributed to the decision. The Giants will now join several other teams in the search for a new skipper, with Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell considered a top candidate.

Assessing Gabe Kapler's Impact on the Giants' 2023 Season and Future

The San Francisco Giants' disappointing 2023 season has sparked debate about whether manager Gabe Kapler should be fired. Critics argue that the team's lackluster roster is the main reason for their struggles, while others believe Kapler's managerial decisions have hindered their success. However, the article suggests that managers have less impact on in-game success over a 162-game season than commonly believed. Kapler has faced challenges with an underperforming roster, relying heavily on bullpen games, and managing player relationships. While some players have praised Kapler's positivity and support, there are concerns about his decision-making and the team's lack of entertainment value. Ultimately, the article suggests that improving the roster should be the priority, but a change in managerial approach may also be necessary to address fan dissatisfaction.

Giants' Playoff Hopes Crushed, Frustration Grows

The San Francisco Giants have officially been eliminated from playoff contention after losing to the San Diego Padres. This marks the fourth time in five seasons under Farhan Zaidi and the third time in four seasons under Gabe Kapler that the Giants will not make the postseason. Despite some players and team officials initially believing they were still technically alive in the playoff race, research has shown that there is no way for the Giants to come out ahead in any tiebreaker. The Giants, who were once 13 games above .500 in July, have struggled offensively since then and have been the lowest-scoring team in the league since the start of July. The disappointing finish raises questions about the future of the coaching staff, although both Zaidi and Kapler are signed through next season.

Giants' Chairman Confirms Zaidi and Kapler's Future with the Team

The Giants have made some notable acquisitions, but their offense has struggled in the second half. Despite being under contract for next year, both Zaidi and Kapler will enter the season in lame duck status unless they sign longer-term extensions.

Rookie catcher Patrick Bailey hits a walk-off homer in the 10th inning, giving the San Francisco Giants a 3-2 win over the Texas Rangers and preventing a sweep. The win ends a four-game losing streak for the Giants and comes after an excruciating decision by manager Gabe Kapler to pull pitcher Logan Webb, who had pitched 8 2/3 shutout innings. Bailey's homer provides a reprieve for the struggling Giants and makes him and Blake Sabol the first set of rookie catchers to hit walk-off homers for the same team in the same season.
