The San Francisco Giants may be mired in a slump that will require some changes, but the manager isn’t one of them. On Tuesday, a few hours ahead of their road game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Giants announced that they had picked up manager Bob Melvin’s club option for the 2026 season, ensuring that he’ll keep leading his hometown team through next season (or at least be paid through next season).
Buster Posey chose the funniest timing imaginable for the announcement, as the Giants are mired in one of their worst slumps in recent memory.
