"President of baseball operations Buster Posey told reporters this week in Las Vegas during MLB's GM Meetings that Hallberg, his roommate at Florida State, and catching coach Alex Burg were deciding whether to stay with the Giants or purse other options. He's one of those that we'd love to have back, but he has been kind of a popular guy with some other teams, as well, Posey told reporter on Tuesday. We're working through that."
"Along with Hallberg, bench coach Ryan Christenson, pitching coach J.P. Martinez, bullpen coach Garvin Alston, hitting coach Pat Burrell, assistant hitting coach Damon Minor and third-base coach Matt Williams will not be on new manager Tony Vitello's coaching staff. Posey confirmed earlier this week that assistant hitting coach Oscar Bernard, quality control coach Taira Uematsu and bullpen catcher Eliezer Zambrano will be back next season. It has yet to be determined whether Burg will return for next season."
"Tingler's role has yet to be officially determined, but Mense will replace Burrell as San Francisco's new hitting coach. He's exceptionally disciplined and very bright, Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins told reporters in Las Vegas of Mense. He brought those attributes into our process and connected well with our players and made a big difference for us over the years."
Mark Hallberg will join the Minnesota Twins as bench coach under manager Derek Shelton. Hallberg, 39, spent six seasons on the Giants' coaching staff as assistant coach (2020-21), third-base coach (2022-23) and first-base coach (2024-25). Several coaches from last season will not be on new manager Tony Vitello's staff, including Ryan Christenson, J.P. Martinez, Garvin Alston, Pat Burrell, Damon Minor and Matt Williams. Oscar Bernard, Taira Uematsu and Eliezer Zambrano are confirmed to return. Jayce Tingler will join the staff and Hunter Mense will replace Pat Burrell as hitting coach. Quentin Eberhardt is leaving the University of Tennessee to join the Giants.
