"As Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey conducts his first managerial search, John Shea of the San Francisco Standard reports that he's spoken to an intriguing name: former Orioles manager Brandon Hyde. Shea does not clarify whether or not the conversation was part of Posey's search for a new manager or even if either side has clear interest in Hyde taking over for Bob Melvin in San Francisco, but the conversation between the two is noteworthy nonetheless."
"Ignoring a one-game stint as manager of the Marlins back in 2011, Hyde's time in the manager's chair has been spent entirely in Baltimore. He managed the club from 2019 until he was fired back in May, and in doing so led the club through a lengthy rebuild, exceeded all expectations with a surprisingly competitive 2022 season, and then build on that success to deliver a 101-win campaign to Baltimore in 2023 en route to an AL Manager of the Year award."
"The early-season disaster the Orioles suffered under Hyde this year is an undeniable blemish that can't be excused as the trials of managing a rebuilding club, but he's nonetheless well-respected around the game. Former Rockies manager Bud Black told USA Today's Bob Nightengale last month that he believes Hyde will be managing again "soon," and for his part Hyde indicated to Nightengale that he does hope to return to the dugout as soon as next season."
Buster Posey, as Giants president of baseball operations, has conducted a managerial search and has spoken with former Orioles manager Brandon Hyde. Hyde managed Baltimore from 2019 until his firing in May 2024, leading the club through a lengthy rebuild, a surprisingly competitive 2022 season, and a 101-win 2023 campaign that earned him AL Manager of the Year. Hyde's 421-492 record reflects early rebuild years and a poor start this season. Hyde is a Bay Area native with a one-game Marlins managerial stint in 2011. Bud Black predicted Hyde will manage again soon, and Hyde hopes to return next season. Mutual interest with the Giants remains unclear.
