Pete Putila, who was named the 10th GM in Giants history, spent many of the past 12 years as one of the architects of the Astros’ highly regarded player development system.
The Giants? The last remnant of the homegrown core from their championship run is on the verge of retirement. Besides Brandon Crawford and Brandon Belt, San Francisco proudly claims Logan Webb, who this year became their first homegrown Opening Day starter since Madison Bumgarner. But who else?
At 21, then-Astros GM Ed Wade hired him as an intern and promoted him to full-time staff a few months later. Many of Putila’s 12 years in the Astros organization have been devoted to creating, maintaining and adapting one of the game’s most highly regarded player development systems. He began overseeing all major- and minor-league development in 2016 and was promoted to assistant GM in 2020.
