Overview

  • USA Today’s Bob Nightengale first reported Washington is set to join San Francisco as its major-league infield coach.
  • Minasian confirmed the report on KNBR, noting the hire is not yet complete but that Washington will have a significant impact on the staff.
  • Nightengale’s initial post mistakenly named the Athletics before being corrected to the Giants, and subsequent outlets corroborated the change.
  • Washington, 73, brings decades of experience as an A’s infield coach, an eight-year Rangers manager with two AL pennants, and a 2021 World Series-winning Braves coach.
  • He is expected to focus on upgrading the Giants’ infield defense and to work closely with Rafael Devers and top prospect Bryce Eldridge on first-base development.
