Posey Dismisses Bochy for Giants’ Management
San Francisco Giants executive Buster Posey has ruled out his former manager, Bruce Bochy, as a candidate to fill the vacant position of team manager again. Posey, who serves as the club’s president of baseball operations, revealed on Wednesday that he spoke with Bochy a couple of days ago. During that conversation, he mentioned the possibility of a role in the organization, although not as a manager.The Giants fired Bob Melvin on Monday, after a second season that culminated in an 81-81 record, one more win than the previous year, and a fourth consecutive missed playoff opportunity. On the same Monday, the Texas Rangers announced the departure of Bochy, 70, after three seasons that included the organization’s first World Series championship in 2023. Posey expressed his hope of finding someone who can provide stability in the manager position for the coming years, as the club seeks to become a regular contender again. However, he did not provide details about the process, except that interviews are taking place this week. Under Bochy’s direction, the Giants won World Series championships in 2010, 2012, and 2014.The door is always open for some kind of role here. I don’t see us going that route with Boch.

When Posey, 38, took over his current position last year to replace Farhan Zaidi, the Giants’ catcher committed to three seasons. He still plans to fulfill that agreement.We had a pretty consistent period of not playing good baseball. There are a lot of good things going on, but ultimately, we didn’t achieve our goal this year.
Buster Posey
I am totally committed, but I think the focus should be on the present. That’s the way I try to see it. Would I like to do it longer? Sure, but I think the focus should be on the moment.
