It is less than a week since the Giants Bob Melvin fired and ended his term of office with the organization after just two seasons, even despite the decision of the team to preventive a club option from 2026 on Melvin in the summer. It was a somewhat surprising decision given that context, and today Melvin spoke about his time in San Francisco, his resignation and his plans for the future with Shayna Rubin van de San Francisco Chronicle.
A resident of Bay Area who was born in Palo Alto and currently lives in Menlo Park, gratefully expressed Melvin for the opportunity to manage both the As while they were in Oakland and the giants in San Francisco “In one life”, ” Call from the chance “More than I could even imagine.” Melvin had much more success in his time with the As, which he managed to manage an 823-764 record in 11 seasons that yielded six Playoff performances and two of his three manager of the year Awards. Melvin’s two seasons in San Francisco, on the other hand, were generally disappointing when the club finished with an 80-82 record in 2024 before he only applied to 81-81 in 2025, even afterwards Buster Posey took over as president of baseball operations and brought in high -quality veterans Justin Landlander” Willy AdamesAnd Rafael Devers.
That 2025 campaign is still disappointing when one believes that the Giants were bound in mid-June for the division lead, shortly before the Devers trade. It would be easy to point out that second half of the decline as the reason for the dismissal of Melvin, but Melvin told Rubin that he had not received a concrete reason for his fires when he spoke with Posey about his decision on the day of the announcement. Posey would later mention the performance of the club during the last months of the season as the reason for the resignation of Melvin, but Melvin pushed back against that characterization. He rightly pointed out that Posey and the Front Office have made the decision to sell important documents such as Tyler Rogers And Camilo Doval At the deadline in July. In that context, the record of 27-26 of the club during the last two months of the season actually looks relatively impressive.
Whatever the reason is for Posey’s decision to go in a different direction, Rubin suggests that Melvin did not close the door when continuing his management career. There are a number of vacancies around baseball (including attractive jobs in places such as Atlanta and Baltimore), and a triple manager of the year with 1678 victories under his belt certainly seems to be an attractive potential candidate for every club who hopes to find an experienced voice in the Dugout. Another performance at the state may not be his favorite destination, as Melvin Rubin said he is that “Always wanted to manage in Japan.” Had Japanese superstars like Ichiro Suzuki And Yu darvish During his career, Melvin also noted that he “Enjoy the style of baseball they play” In Nippon Professional Baseball.
Expat managers in Japan are not particularly common, but they are not entirely unheard of with the time of Bobby Valentine who manage the Chiba Lotte -Marines who stand out as perhaps the most striking example of an MLB manager who finds work in an NPB -Dugout. Maybe Melvin will enter those footsteps, although he acknowledged that he has Rubin that it is “Difficult to say for sure” What his plans are so fast after he has been fired by the giants.
