"SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants executive Buster Posey doesn't consider his former manager Bruce Bochy a candidate to fill the vacant position again for San Francisco. Posey, the club's president of baseball operations, said Wednesday that he had spoken to Bochy a couple of days earlier and mentioned there could be a position for the 70-year-old in the organization -- just not the managerial job."
"When Posey took over in his current job at this time last year to replace Farhan Zaidi, the Giants' longtime catcher committed to three seasons. He is still planning to fulfill that agreement. "I'm fully committed, but I think the focus has to be on the present," the 38-year-old Posey said. "That's the way I try to look at it. Would I like to do it longer, sure, but I think the focus has to be in the moment.""
Buster Posey does not consider Bruce Bochy a candidate to return as Giants manager, while leaving open the possibility of another role within the organization. The Giants fired Bob Melvin after an 81-81 season and a fourth straight missed playoff opportunity. Bochy was out in Texas after three seasons that included the Rangers' first World Series championship in 2023. The club seeks a manager who can provide stability for years as the Giants attempt to become regular contenders again. Interviews for the managerial vacancy are taking place this week. Posey committed to a three-season term and intends to fulfill that agreement.
