Giants Manager Gabe Kapler Feels ‘A Lot Of Remorse’ For Mishandling Assault Allegations While Dodgers’ Director Of Player Development

The San Francisco Giants were among the handful of teams in need of a new manager at the start of the offseason. Longtime skipper Bruce Bochy retired at the conclusion of the 2019 season, prompting a lengthy search for his replacement.

Leading the charge was former Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Farhan Zaidi, who switched sides in the rivalry to become Giants president of baseball operations last November.

Zaidi interviewed many candidates — some of which he was familiar with from his time in L.A. Dodgers bench coach Bob Geren reportedly garnered consideration, although he was not considered a finalist for the position.
