Posey Dismisses Bochy for Giants’ Management
SAN FRANCISCO – Buster Posey, Giants’ president of baseball operations, has ruled out his former manager Bruce Bochy as a candidate to fill the manager position again in San Francisco. Posey revealed on Wednesday that he spoke with Bochy a few days ago and suggested the possibility of a position in the organization, although not that of manager.The Giants fired Bob Melvin on Monday, after a second season that ended with 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 culminated in the organization’s first World Series championship in 2023. Posey expressed his desire to find someone who can provide stability in the manager position for the coming years, as the team tries to become a regular contender again. However, he did not offer 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. Posey also commented on the team’s recent performance.The door is always open here for some kind of function. I don’t think we’re going that route with Boch.

When Posey, 38, took over his current position last year, replacing Farhan Zaidi, the Giants’ catcher committed to three seasons. He 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 in the end 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 how I try to see it. Would I like to do it for longer? Sure, but I think the focus should be on the moment.
