The Giants are hiring Bobby Evans and Jeff Berry as advisors to first-year president of baseball operations Buster Posey, reports Jeff Pa san of ESPN ( ). They each have ties to the franchise icon. Evans was San Franciscos general manager for a portion of Poseys playing career, while Berry was the catchers longtime agent at CAA Sports. As one would imagine, Evans has significantly more front office experience of todays hires. He started working for San Francisco in the 1990s Wilson Chandler Jersey . Evans worked his way up the ladder amidst the Giants run of three World Series in five years early in the 2010s. San Francisco promoted him to general manager in April 2015, though he still served as something of the #2 decision maker behind executive vice president Brian Sabean. The Giants rea signed Evans near the end of the 18 season, a precursor to their hiring of Farhan Zaidi the following offseason. Evans hasnt found himself in a ton of headlines over the past six years, though he reportedly interviewed for the Astros GM job on two occasions (in 2020 and 23) and sat down with the Angels before they hired Perry Minasian in November 20. He was floated as a candidate for the GM job in San Francisco this offseason, a position which wouldve put him only behind Posey in the front office hierarchy. The Giants went with Zack Minasian for that job, but Posey evidently values Evans input enough to bring him aboard in an advisory role. Berry worked at CAA for more than two decades, becoming one of baseballs most high-profile agents in the proce s. The 54-year-old stepped away from that job at the beginning of the 2024 season. (Berry spoke with about that decision in June.) Hell provide a bit of a different perspective as he moves to the other side of the aisle. Its rare but not unheard of for agents to take team positions most notably with Berrys former CAA colleague Brodie Van Wagenen working as Mets general manager between 2018-20. Joe Harris Jersey
