While the San Diego Padres are celebrating and gearing up for another postseason run, one of their NL West rivals is already cleaning house.
Following a pretty disappointing 81-81 season, the San Francisco Giants dismissed manager Bob Melvin of his duties after a second-straight mediocre year. The Giants went 80-82 last year and hardly improved despite having star players like Rafael Devers, Willy Adames, Logan Webb, and Robbie Ray play well.
Melvin, who coached for two seasons with the Friars prior to his tenure in San Francisco, somehow leaves a stronger legacy in San Diego despite his inability to adapt to the Padres' organizational operations.
