The Giants switched Hensley Meulens from hitting coach to bench coach, a move that figures to make Meulens a possible manager of the future.
In the latest round of coaching moves announced on Thursday, the Giants made it official that Ron Wotus moved from bench coach to third-base coach and that Phil Nevin was fired after one just year in the third-base coaching box.
Former Giants pitcher Matt Herges is the new bullpen coach, replacing Mark Gardner, who had been reassigned along with pitching coach Dave Righetti and assistant hitting coach Steve Decker.
The Giants still have two key positions to fill: pitching coach and hitting coach — one candidate they interviewed for hitting coach, Chili Davis, joined the Cubs’ staff — along with assistant hitting coach.
