Overview

  • Ron Washington told the Associated Press he has agreed to join the Giants and that logistics are being worked out.
  • Giants general manager Zack Minasian said on KNBR the club is finalizing the hire and credited manager Tony Vitello for suggesting Washington.
  • Washington is expected to focus on infield instruction and could also be slotted as third-base coach, with the team yet to announce its full staff.
  • He will work with an infield headlined by Matt Chapman and Willy Adames and help Rafael Devers and prospect Bryce Eldridge continue their transitions at first base.
  • The move follows Washington’s 2025 medical leave for quadruple-bypass surgery and the Angels declining his 2026 option before hiring Kurt Suzuki; USA Today’s Bob Nightengale first reported the news after correcting an initial post naming the A’s.
