The 41-year-old was promoted to VP of Professional Scouting of the Giants in 2022 after joining the organization from the Milwaukee Brewers in 2019.

Minasian comes from a baseball family with his brother, Perry being the GM of the Los Angeles Angels.

Minasian started out in baseball helping his dad as a bat boy for the Texas Rangers when he was a kid. Dodgers legend Tommy Lasorda was also his godfather.

"I'm extremely thankful to Buster and to the Giants organization for this incredible opportunity to help lead our baseball operations department in this new role," said Minasian. "There is so much to appreciate about this organization - an existing nucleus of talent on both the Major League roster and throughout the minor league system, a passionate fan base, an incredible alumni group, and the organization's commitment to the community. I look forward to collaborating alongside Buster, Bob Melvin and the coaching staff, and our entire baseball operations department to begin work of bringing a World Series championship back to San Francisco."

Minasian is married to ABC7 News anchor Karina Nova.
