San Francisco Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey will hire a general manager to serve as his second in command.
Posey, 37, only recently took over the job.
According to a report, Posey is looking for someone with a strong traditional scouting background to fill the GM role. In addition, Posey wants someone that will allow him to operate more behind the scenes than is usually the case for lead executives.
\"Beyond a strong scouting background, the new Giants GM is likely to be the more public-facing member of the front office, handling most media chores, for instance, while Posey makes the final call on potential moves and personnel decisions,\" reports the San Francisco Chronicle.
