⚾️ Brothers Calling the Shots in Cali

Every professional sports league seems to have a few sets of brothers who happen to play in the league at the same time. Well the Minasian brothers aren’t playing, but they’re calling the shots.

Yesterday afternoon the San Francisco Giants promoted Zack Minasian to General Manager, making him the second Minasian to hold the same position in the state of California. His brother, Perry, has been the General Manager of the Los Angeles Angels since November of 2020.

Zack has been the Giants’ vice president of professional scouting since 2020 after spending 14 years with the Milwaukee Brewers. Promoting Minasian was the first move of the new President of Baseball Operations Buster Posey’s tenure.

Brother, Perry, is the architect of the current rebuild in Los Angeles. This includes the contract negotiation for new World Series champion Shohei Ohtani.

The two are obviously limited in what they can talk about when it relates to baseball, not only because of league rules but also for competitive advantage reasons. Both admitted that their conversations are mostly about their children, families, and maybe a little bit of baseball. Yanno, the important things in life.

While it’s not as rare to hear about brothers playing in professional sports, it’s much more rare to hear about brothers leading two professional baseball franchises. It’ll be an interesting series when LA plays San Fran.
