San Francisco Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi addressed the media during a Wednesday press conference to introduce two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell, who signed with the team Tuesday.
The addition of Snell marks the third Scott Boras client to join the organization this offseason, and Zaidi opened the press conference by joking about the degree of difficulty that came with negotiating with baseball’s most renowned agent.
“I actually just got off the phone with the White House. I called to ask if negotiating three deals with Scott Boras in one offseason qualifies you for a presidential medal of freedom. They said they’d get back to me,” joked Zaidi.
