Dar el relevo
 
Can someone explain to me what this phrase means?

to pass the baton ? (in a relay race, or metaphorically to hand over something like a task to someone else) :thinking:

Edit: to pass the buck?

yes, to pass the baton, to give the turn to another
"el viejo director pasó el relevo de la fábrica a su nieto más joven"

Saludos :D

Y su nieto más joven tomó el relevo. :)

(By the by, I have heard more often "tomar el relevo" than "dar el relevo", but both are understandable.

(Donde las dan, las toman.)
