I don't think the FO has ever made that sort of information public. Elias ducked the question when asked in early 2023 and only said, "People are, for better or worse, going to have to get used to [Brandon Hyde] and I here for a while."

On "Black Monday", the Cardinals announce Chaim Bloom as the heir apparent to John Mozeliak who will serve out a lame duck 2025, and the Giants fire Farhan Zaidi for Buster Posey.

Zaidi trivia - he had a losing record in 5 out of his 6 seasons at the helm, but also was 36 games over .500 across the 6-year span.

COVID giving a Hall of Famer in Posey a "bye season" at the end of his run before the 2021 magic carpet ride I think one of its interesting effects.

I'm a bit surprised at SFG.  Not that Zaidi was bullet-proof, but the Posey-Chapman deal adds a stench to ownership.  

Good more by the Cards.  Boston ran him out of town too fast IMO.
