The Giants owner also shared the team had an opt-out clause in Zaidi's original five-year contract that "expired months ago" and that “we stand fully behind him.”
San Francisco's recent six-game losing streak reignited the ongoing discussion surrounding Zaidi and Kapler's futures with the team, as a portion of the Giants fan base remains discontent with the current state of the organization after the regime's nearly four seasons together.
However, after a 5-1 homestand, the Giants (75-71), currently hold the third and final NL wild-card spot and soon should be fully healthy for the first time all season.
After a historic 107-win 2021 season, the Giants finished with a disappointing 81-81 record in 2022 and have not been much better in 2023, despite a very busy offseason and multiple additions to the roster.
