Padres can’t let Bob Melvin get away to the San Francisco Giants

Following the 2006 season, then San Diego Padres CEO Sandy Alderson wanted a younger manager to lead the club so he allowed some guy named Bruce Bochy to interview for the San Francisco Giants opening. That fella ended up continuing to be a pretty good manager, winning two NL West titles and three World Series championships in his 13 seasons with the Giants after winning four NL West titles and an NL pennant in San Diego.

Fast forward to 2023 and the San Diego Padres may again choose to go younger and there happens to be a managerial opening in San Francisco.
