The Giants have zeroed in on the man to run their baseball operations department and now they just need an answer.
Farhan Zaidi has been offered the position of president of baseball operations, multiple league sources confirmed to NBC Sports Bay Area's Alex Pavlovic, and Andrew Friedman, the Dodgers' president of baseball operations, indicated on Tuesday that his organization will not stand in the way of Zaidi accepting the Giants' offer.
The current Dodgers GM is expected to make his decision sometime during the next 24 hours, according to Fox Sports' Jon Morosi.
