The San Francisco Giants have zeroed in on their next manager.
FILE - San Diego Padres manager Bob Melvin stands in the dugout before a baseball game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in Pittsburgh, Wednesday, June 28, 2023. The San Francisco Giants have hired manager Bob Melvin away from the division rival San Diego Padres, three people with direct knowledge of the situation said Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2023. The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the move publicly.
. The Giants have yet to make the move official, though they are expected to do so in the coming days. The Padres granted the Giants permission to speak to Melvin earlier this week, and he quickly became their top candidate for the job. Melvin had one year left on his contract in San Diego, and had reportedly clashed with general manager A.J. Preller frequently there.The Giants fired former manager Gabe Kapler last month with just a few games left in the regular season.
Melvin, 61, just wrapped up his second season leading the Padres. They went 82-80 last season and missed the playoffs. He's been a manager in Major League Baseball for two decades, and got his first job with the Seattle Mariners in 2003. He spent five seasons leading the Arizona Diamondbacks before landing with the Oakland Athletics in 2011, where he stayed for a full decade.
