Giants, Carlos Correa agree to 13-year, $350M deal, sources say
Shortstop Carlos Correa and the San Francisco Giants are in agreement on a 13-year, $350 million contract, a record-long deal that is the richest ever for the position and gives the team a franchise-type player around which it plans to build, sources familiar with the situation told ESPN.
The free agent path of Correa, 28, was far less circuitous than last year, when he entered the market in hopes of landing a $300 million-plus deal but wound up signing a shorter-term contract with the Minnesota Twins that included an opt-out after the first season. This offseason, Correa found a market that lavished $300 million on Trea Turner and $280 million on Xander Bogaerts far more to his liking, and he wound up with the second-biggest deal, behind Aaron Judge's nine-year, $360 million contract with the New York Yankees.
The 13 years ties Bryce Harper's $330 million deal with the Philadelphia Phillies in March 2019, and like Harper, Correa received a full no-trade clause and a contract without any opt-outs, sources said.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
FWIW, Tyler Rogers' identical twin brother (i.e. Taylor) is also on the Giants. He's a left handed reliever that throws (basically) overhand, etc.

Former Giants manager Baker eyeing return to organization
Former Giants manager Dusty Baker is eying a return to the organization.

Former Giants manager Baker eyeing return to organization originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
A familiar face could return to the Giants organization in 2024, in what has been a common theme this offseason.
After hiring Bay Area native and former Giants catcher Bob Melvin as the next manager, San Francisco brought back former outfielder Pat Burrell as the hitting coach and former third baseman Matt Williams as the third base coach.
Former Giants manager Dusty Baker joined 95.7 The Game's Jason Dumas and F.P. Santangelo on "Willard & Dibs" Friday, where he discussed his retirement after stepping down as Houston Astros manager after the 2023 MLB season and shared that he's had conversations with Giants CEO Larry Baer about a possible return to the organization in some capacity.
"I'm also actually talking to the Giants," Baker told Dumas and Santangelo. "I talked to Larry Baer the other day about the possibility of maybe even joining them and so we just have to see how things work out for all of us.
"They're preliminary talks. Like I said, I talked to Larry. I'm awaiting to talk to Farhan [Zaidi]. They do have a team here in Sacramento where I am, the River Cats team ... We'll see if we can work things out family-wise and time-wise and all kinds of ways. Like I said, we're just having preliminary talks. We'll see how things work out."
It remains to be seen what role Baker could have with the Giants, but the mention of the organization's Triple-A affiliate, the Sacramento River Cats, could hint at the possibility of a role at the minor-league level.

Giants promote Buster Posey to president of baseball operations, replacing Farhan Zaidi

Giants promote Buster Posey to president of baseball operations, replacing Farhan Zaidi
Zaidi had been the Giants' president of baseball operations since 2018
The San Francisco Giants have fired president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi after an 80–82 regular season record and fourth-place finish in the National League West division. The team is promoting former NL MVP and three-time World Series champion Buster Posey into Zaidi's position leading baseball operations.
Zaidi was hired in November 2018 after front office stints with the Oakland Athletics and Los Angeles Dodgers. During his tenure, the Giants compiled a record of 453–506 with one NL West division title. Their surprising 107–55 record in 2021 was the only season in which San Francisco finished above .500. Aaron Judge
Posey became part of the Giants' ownership group in 2022 and joined the team's board of directors, after retiring as an active player. The 2010 NL Rookie of the Year and seven-time All-Star approached the team about an ownership stake after finishing his playing career after the 2021 season, according to Johnson.
Negotiations on a contract extension with third baseman Matt Chapman may have indicated Posey's future in player personnel or baseball operations. The Giants wanted to sign Chapman to an extension amid a bounce-back season in which he hit 27 home runs and 39 doubles with 78 RBI and 15 stolen bases, yet Zaidi and agent Scott Boras couldn't agree on a deal.
Frustrated with the stalemate, the Giants' board of directors intervened with Posey taking an active role in contract talks, according to The Athletic's Andrew Baggarly. Boras wanted his client to return to the free agent market coming off a strong season. but Posey agreed to more of Chapman's terms including a no-trade clause which Zaidi wouldn't include in a new contract. Chapman eventually agreed to a six-year, $151 million deal with the Giants.
