Overview

• President of baseball operations Chris Young said the club is prioritizing a single internal candidate and has not engaged any outside candidates.
• Multiple reports identify special advisor Skip Schumaker, the 2023 NL Manager of the Year, as the current focus of the search.
• Schumaker remains under contract with Texas through the end of October, and other teams with openings could request permission to speak with him.
• General manager Ross Fenstermaker said Schumaker has been deeply involved in the front office throughout the year, regularly offering input.
• Bruce Bochy’s managerial tenure ended by mutual agreement at season’s end, and he has been offered an advisory role with Texas with reported interest from the Giants for a similar position.
