Overview

  • Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey said Bruce Bochy is not a candidate to replace fired manager Bob Melvin, though he welcomed Bochy for a different organizational role.
  • Bochy, 70, became available after a mutual parting with the Rangers days after the Giants dismissed Melvin, ending speculation of an immediate reunion in San Francisco.
  • Posey said interviews are already underway this week and described the preferred hire as “obsessive” about details, work and maximizing players and staff.
  • The San Francisco Chronicle reported the Giants did not renew current coaches’ contracts and do not plan to interview them for the manager job, with the next manager expected to have agency over staff decisions.
  • With several MLB clubs also seeking managers, outlets have linked possible candidates to San Francisco, including Skip Schumaker, Craig Albernaz and Nick Hundley, though the team has not disclosed its list.
