Overview

• President of baseball operations Buster Posey announced the dismissal Monday and said the club will begin identifying a new leader.
• Melvin, 63, finished 161-163 across two years in San Francisco and did not reach the playoffs with the Giants.
• San Francisco ended 2025 at 81-81 after a promising first half, tying the Dodgers in mid-June before fading out of contention.
• In July the Giants exercised Melvin’s 2026 option, a decision later overturned after prolonged slumps that included a 9-25 stretch and a 15-of-16 skid at home.
• Several players, including Matt Chapman and Logan Webb, publicly praised Melvin, as speculation about replacements — including a possible Bruce Bochy reunion — begins and potential staff changes are considered.
