Overview

• Melvin said he has received no assurance about returning and plans to meet with a front-office official Monday.
• He remains under contract for 2026 after Posey exercised his club option in July, which would still obligate the team to pay that year if it changes managers.
• San Francisco finished 81-81 after dropping from 12 games over .500 into multiple extended skids late in the season.
• Players including Matt Chapman and Logan Webb defended Melvin’s leadership and said the shortcomings were on the roster’s performance.
• Posey is expected to brief reporters Wednesday, with reporting indicating a managerial decision could come in that timeframe.
