The Dodgers will name former Athletics assistant GM Farhan Zaidi the team’s n
ew general manager this week, according to a tweet from Ken Gurnick of MLB.com
. Zaidi, 37, had been with Oakland for ten years and was promoted just before
last season.

The club is also set to add former Diamondbacks and Padres GM Josh Byrnes, Mar
k Saxon of the Los Angeles Times reports on Twitter. Though it is not yet know
n what position he will hold, his addition is a “done deal,” per Saxon.

Combined, the addition of the well-regarded Zaidi and experienced Byrnes repre
sent major additions to the front office of new president of baseball operatio
ns Andrew Friedman.

Zaidi’s former boss, Billy Beane, credits him with a brilliant and creative m
ind, as Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote in a profile. Accor
ding to Slusser, Zaidi was instrumental in bringing Yoenis Cespedes to Oakland
 and in maximizing value through platoons.

A Muslim Canadian who grew up in the Philippines, it goes without saying that
Zaidi does not have a typical background for a baseball executive. But his ana
lytical background — he has an undergraduate degree from M.I.T. and a Ph.D. i
n behavioral economics from Cal-Berkeley — ultimately won him a chance with t
he A’s, and he never looked back. In spite of his background, Zaidi is known
as a proponent of utilizing traditional scouting and focusing on tools in iden
tifying talent.
