Evans joined the Giants in 1994 as an administrative assistant and became general manager in April 2015 when Brian Sabean was promoted to executive vice president of baseball operations. Evans was fired in September 2018 after the Giants were assured of their second straight losing record.

Berry spent 26 years at the Creative Artists Agency and was co-head of CAA Baseball when he left in June. He represented Posey while at the agency.
