Nick Hundley Strongly in Mix for Giants’ Manager Job

Buster Posey holds final say in an external search with interviews ongoing.

Overview

  • Jon Heyman reports Hundley is a prominent candidate for San Francisco’s opening, with no guarantees and no interview yet confirmed.
  • Buster Posey, as president of baseball operations, is running the process and is not expected to interview current staff.
  • Former All-Star Kurt Suzuki has interviewed, and Cleveland bench coach Craig Albernaz is expected to receive consideration.
  • Hundley, 42, caught in the majors for 12 seasons and served as Posey’s backup with the Giants in 2017–18.
  • After retiring, Hundley worked in MLB’s commissioner’s office and as a Rangers special assistant, and he lacks Major League coaching experience after previously withdrawing from San Francisco’s 2023 search.
