After the Giants fired Bob Melvin on Monday, Sept. 29, speculation grew about whether they might look at the four-time World Series-winning manager. The 70-year-old became available Monday after he and the Texas Rangers agreed he would end his tenure in the dugout there.
Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey said Wednesday he talked to Bochy a couple days ago, but he doesn’t view him as a candidate for manager.
‘I don’t even know what Boch’s plans are, if he wants to continue to manage or not,’ Posey told reporters. ‘The door’s always open here for some sort of role, but the way I think things are coming into picture in my mind with where we want to go next, I don’t see us going that route with Boch.’
Bochy won championships with the Giants in 2010, 2012 and 2014. He also won the 2023 World Series with the Rangers.
Bochy has been offered a front office role with Texas.
