When the Giants announced their six-year extension with third baseman Matt Chapman earlier this month, some observers were quick to connect the dots between the future of president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi and ownership approving a $151 million commitment to a player.

當巨人隊宣佈和Matt Chapman簽下六年151M大型延長合約後

有些人就想到棒球事務部門總裁Farhan Zaidi和老闆間的關係

Surely the Giants’ embattled chief baseball architect’s job is safe if he is negotiating franchise-altering contracts, right?

開綠燈讓Zaidi簽大約，代表位子穩了對吧？

According to sources, the Giants’ executive board led by Buster Posey became so frustrated by the lack of immediate progress between Zaidi and agent Scott Boras after talks began in August that the ownership group took action.

但根據消息來源指出

由巨人名將Buster Posey帶領的巨人隊董事會

對於Zaidi和Matt Chapman經紀人Boras談判進度感到沮喪（從八月開始談）

所以老闆群決定下去介入

Sources said Posey personally dealt with Chapman to hammer out the basic structure of the contract, which includes a full no-trade provision — one of the sticking points that Zaidi had

是由Buster Posey本人親自去和Boras談妥合約結構

其中包含Zaidi一直猶豫不想給的不可交易條款
