Gabe Kapler Reportedly Named Giants Manager After Bruce Bochy Retirement

The San Francisco Giants have hired ex-Philadelphia Phillies manager Gabe Kapler as their newest skipper to replace Bruce Bochy, according to John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Bochy had served as the team's skipper since 2007 and won three World Series during his 13 years with the organization before retiring at the end of the 2019 season. With more than 1,000 wins with the team, there are quite big shoes to fill for the new manager.

Additionally, the Giants have only had three total managers since the start of the 1993 season, so this type of change isn't very common.
