The SF Giants search for a new manager was upended on Saturday with a report in The Athletic that claims the Giants seem to be zeroing in on Tony Vitello, the head coach of the University of Tennessee baseball team, as next manager.
This news comes as a bit of a shock after weeks where it was presumed that Nick Hundley, a former Giants catcher who was a backup to Buster Posey for two seasons, would be the likely choice of the front office. Instead, it seems the Giants are going in a different direction.
