The Giants had been expected to make coaching changes, and they reportedly started with the biggest name on the staff.
Dave Righetti, the pitching coach since 2000 who served under three managers, has been relieved of his duties and accepted a front-office role, according to FanRag Sports.
Bullpen coach Mark Gardner has been reassigned, according to the website, with other moves expected to be made involving bench coach Ron Wotus and hitting coach Hensley Meulens.
The Giants are expected to make an announcement on the coaching staff on Saturday.
Friday, when announcing that David Bell has replaced Shane Turner as vice president of player development, general manager Bobby Evans said he wasn’t prepared to make an announcement because some coaches were being considered for managerial jobs.
