Overview

• Nick Hundley has interviewed for San Francisco’s managerial opening, the San Francisco Chronicle reported, elevating the former 12-year catcher and Rangers special assistant on the club’s list.
• Kurt Suzuki has also interviewed, and the Giants are concentrating on a short list of roughly four to five candidates who fit the catcher profile, according to local reporting.
• Coverage indicates the hire is expected to come from outside the current staff, with internal coaches not slated for interviews.
• Buster Posey is leading the process after firing Bob Melvin following an 81-81 season, with reporting framing the move as part of a culture reset focused on communication and accountability.
• With several other MLB teams seeking managers, the Giants face pressure to move quickly, ideally before the GM meetings and the opening of free agency.
