"I give Tony a lot of credit. He talks a lot about being a team and filling blind spots as well as possible, Minasian said on The Murph & Markus Show. I think he recognizes his experience level in the professional ranks. He originally brought up Wash and would say, What do you think about bringing Wash in with his experience?'"
"My brothers and my father have experience with Wash dating back to Texas, Minasian said. Obviously, Perry hired him to manage with the Angels. Not only them, but really anyone Wash comes in contact with just thinks the world of him. The energy level, the expertise, the experience just seemed like a no-brainer as Tony continued to have conversations with Wash."
The Giants hired Bruce Bochy as a special advisor to baseball operations and are assembling experienced coaches to support new manager Tony Vitello as he moves from college to the major leagues. General manager Zack Minasian confirmed that Ron Washington is finalizing a deal to join Vitello’s staff as the major-league infield coach. Washington brings more than 50 years of professional experience as a player, coach and manager, including stints with the Rangers, Angels, A's and Braves and 564 major-league games played. Minasian praised Washington's energy, expertise and long-standing relationships, and Jayce Tingler will also join the coaching staff.
