"The Giants made a handful of notable moves on the coaching staff and in the front office. The club announced the hirings of former big leaguers Javier López and Curt Casali as front office advisors. They're adding another longtime MLB player in the dugout, as newly-signed reliever Sam Hentges tells reporters (including Shayna Rubin of The San Francisco Chronicle) that Jesse Chavez will be the new bullpen coach."
"Chavez, 42, jumps into coaching a few months after the end of his playing career. He announced his retirement in July after being waived by the Braves. Chavez became a staple on MLBTR pages for a series of transactions that tended to land him back in Atlanta. He made four MLB appearances this year, reaching the big leagues for an 18th season."
The Giants hired former big leaguers Javier López and Curt Casali as front-office advisors and named Jesse Chavez the new bullpen coach. Chavez, 42, retired in July after being waived by the Braves and made four MLB appearances this year, extending his career to 18 seasons. A long reliever for most of his career, Chavez posted a 4.27 ERA in 657 appearances and pitched for nine teams, including four seasons with the Athletics. Chavez replaces Garvin Alston. The team faces offseason work after trading key relievers, a closer's Tommy John surgery, and other roster moves.
