The San Francisco Giants have made significant additions to their front office, appointing former general manager Bobby Evans and ex-agent Jeff Berry as special advisers. These strategic hires come under the leadership of the Giants' new president of baseball operations, Buster Posey.
Evans, who first joined the Giants in 1994 as an administrative assistant, rose through the ranks to become general manager in April 2015. His tenure as GM saw both successes and challenges, but he was ultimately relieved of his duties in September 2018 following back-to-back losing seasons. Jeff Berry, who spent an illustrious 26-year career at Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and co-headed CAA Baseball before his departure in June, is another notable addition. Berry, a former agent, represented Posey during his time at the agency, bringing a wealth of experience in player management and negotiations. In addition to Evans and Berry, the Giants have appointed Hadi Raad as the new director of pro scouting. Raad has a solid track record, having served as Miami's professional scouting director from 2019-2022 and as Pittsburgh's professional evaluation team leader from 2023-2024. His previous stints with the New York Yankees and Texas also highlight his extensive expertise in scouting and player evaluation. Pike Goldschmidt has been named the director of baseball strategy. Goldschmidt joins the Giants after spending eight seasons with the Oakland Athletics, where he was the director of baseball development since January 2023. His role will involve crafting and executing strategies to enhance the team's performance and player development. These additions mark a new chapter for the Giants as they aim to blend experienced leadership with innovative approaches. Under Posey's direction, the team is looking to build a strong foundation for future success.
