The San Francisco Giants announced today that they have exercised the 2026 option for manager Bob Melvin. Having the chance to work alongside Bob every day, we're really fortunate to have such an experienced leader and one of the most well-respected managers in baseball. His leadership, preparation, and connection with our players have been invaluable, and we believe he's the right person to continue guiding this team forward.
The team has lost six of their last seven games, which includes a home sweep against the lowly Miami Marlins, and a series loss to the paltry Chicago White Sox. But at 45-40 they're still firmly outpacing expectations for the season.
