Quick Glance: Brandon Crawford Departs SF Giants
- Former San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford revealed in an interview with The Athletic that despite his desire to stay, play different positions, and mentor Marco Luciano, he was turned down by team president Farhan Zaidi.
- Following Crawford's standout 2021 season, Zaidi extended his contract for two years. However, Crawford struggled with injuries and posted a .216/.293/.332 batting line over the past two seasons, 24% below the league average OPS.
- On the final day of the season, Luciano was substituted in for Crawford, who left the field to cheers. Crawford remained open to playing another season but Zaidi felt he was too influential in the organization to take on a reduced role.
- Zaidi explained that Crawford's stature in the team made it challenging for him to be a mentor from the bench, impacting the development of younger players. Despite Crawford's willingness to contribute, the Giants opted not to match the Cardinals' offer.
