Timeline

1976

Farhan Zaidi (born November 11, 1976) is a Canadian baseball executive who is currently the president of baseball operations for the San Francisco Giants of Major League Baseball.

Zaidi is one of two Muslim executives in Major League Baseball.

He was the first Muslim and first Pakistani-American and subsequently first South Asian-American general manager in Major League Baseball.

He was the first Muslim to run a major North American sports team.

Zaidi was born on November 11, 1976, in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, to a family of Pakistani ancestry.

His parents, Sadiq and Anjum, raised four children: Zeeshan, Farhan, Noor, and Jaffer.

Zaidi grew up in the Philippines after his family moved to Manila when he was four years old, where he attended the International School of Manila.

He has a Bachelor of Science degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in economics from the University of California, Berkeley.

He briefly worked for the Boston Consulting Group and the Sporting News website between MIT and Berkeley.

While at Berkeley, Zaidi read the book Moneyball and said that it changed his life.

He saw a job posting for a baseball operations position with the Oakland Athletics and sent out his résumé, beating out 1,000 other applicants for the job.

He was a data analysis sabermetrics assistant when he started.

His boss with the Athletics, Billy Beane, called him "absolutely brilliant" and credited him with the acquisition of Yoenis Céspedes.

1993

Zaidi was in Grade 11 when he watched Joe Carter hit his game-winning walk-off home run in 1993 to win back-to-back World Series championships for the Jays.

2013

For the 2013 season, Zaidi was promoted by the Athletics to the post of director of baseball operations and added assistant general manager to his title in 2014.

2014

On November 6, 2014, Zaidi was named by the Los Angeles Dodgers as their new general manager under president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman.

2017

Under his watch as the Dodgers GM, the team made its first World Series appearance in 29 years in 2017, falling to the Houston Astros in seven games.

2018

The following year, they lost in five games to the Boston Red Sox in the 2018 World Series.

On November 6, 2018, Zaidi accepted an offer to join the San Francisco Giants to become president of baseball operations.

In 2021, the Giants won a franchise-record 107 games, and Zaidi was voted the Sporting News Executive of the Year and MLB Executive of the Year, becoming the first person of South Asian descent to win either award.

When Zaidi's general manager Scott Harris left the Giants in 2022 to become the president of baseball operations for the Detroit Tigers, Zaidi hired Pete Putila to be the Giants new general manager.

In October 2023, Zaidi and the Giants agreed to a new three-year contract through 2026.

Zaidi is married to Lucy Fang, a fellow MIT graduate.

Though he primarily grew up in the Philippines, Zaidi still considers himself Canadian.

His family returned to Canada every other summer to visit family and friends; as a result, Zaidi became a fan of the Toronto Blue Jays and many of its star players, such as Jesse Barfield, Tony Fernandez and George Bell.
