The Los Angeles Dodgers have been linked to practically every high-profile free agent on the field this offseason, signing a shocking number of them after winning the World Series in 2024.
Why not bring in arguably the top front-office free agent as well?
Farhan Zaidi, the former Dodgers’ general manager who was fired from the San Francisco Giants’ top baseball operations position last year, is coming back to Los Angeles as a special advisor, according to multiple reports Monday.
The Dodgers have hired Farhan Zaidi as a special advisor, source says. He will also be assisting owner Mark Walter in his other sports interests.

Zaidi, 49, left the Dodgers’ front office to helm the Giants’ baseball operations department from 2018-24. After San Francisco failed to reach the postseason in six of his seven seasons, Zaidi was replaced by Buster Posey as the team’s president of baseball operations.
From 2015-17, Zaidi was the general manager under Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman.
