Derek Holland said he wants to return to the Giants next season, but the team’s decision apparently will be made by someone who’s not yet in the organization.

On the day general manager Bobby Evans was fired, Holland made what was probably his final start of the season and gave up three runs in five innings in Monday’s 5-0 homestand-opening loss to the Padres.
