Giants Interview Nick Hundley as Buster Posey Narrows Manager Search

Posey is emphasizing former catchers with the job still unfilled.

Overview

  • The San Francisco Chronicle reports that former catcher Nick Hundley has interviewed for the Giants’ managerial opening.
  • Hundley, 42, is a Texas Rangers special assistant and the Giants’ 2017 Willie Mac Award winner, and he has no MLB coaching or managerial experience.
  • Sources told the Chronicle the club is concentrating on four or five candidates, with an emphasis on younger catcher-types and an external hire.
  • Longtime catcher Kurt Suzuki has also interviewed, and reports indicate candidates such as Craig Albernaz and Curt Casali are in the mix for consideration.
  • Jon Heyman previously characterized Hundley as "strongly in the mix," as the search proceeds following Bob Melvin’s dismissal last week.
