SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants have found Bruce Bochy’s successor.
The club agreed to terms with former Philadelphia Phillies manager Gabe Kapler, who is set to become the team’s next manager. The announcement comes one day after the team introduced new general manager Scott Harris at a press conference at Oracle Park.
Kapler emerged from a pool of at least nine candidates and was one of three who received at least two interviews for the chance to hold a job last manned by Bochy, a three-time World Series champion. The other finalists were current Astros bench coach Joe Espada and Tampa Bay Rays bench coach Matt Quatraro.
