Sept. 29 (UPI) -- The San Francisco Giants fired manager Bob Melvin after two seasons, the team announced Monday. Melvin led the Giants to a 161-163 record over his short tenure.
"I have a tremendous amount of respect for Bob Melvin," Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey said in a news release. "I watched him before I was in the league. I competed against him for years and always enjoyed competing with him.
"Unfortunately, the way that we played throughout the course of the year, this is where we ended up. The hope is, going forward, we can get a new voice in the room that can lead these guys to get us back to where we want to go."
Melvin, a three-time Manager of the Year, joined the Giants in 2024. They went 80-82 to finish fourth in the National League West in his first season.
