With the recent dismissal of manager Gave Kapler, the San Francisco Giants are on the hunt for their new manager and Mark Hallberg, the team's third-base coach has emerged as the leading in-house candidate, according to the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser.
Slusser reported that Hallberg interviewed for the open position at some point this week along with several other members of the Giants' organization.
Hallberg, 37, is close friends with former San Francisco star catcher Buster Posey, who he played with in college, and is well-respected by people in the ball club.
