Just a month ago, there was a very real question about whether SF Giants manager Bob Melvin would be back as the skipper in 2026. That chatter has died down, but general manager Zack Minasian dodged the question in a recent interview.
Minasian talked with Bay Area sports reporter Tim Kawakami on his podcast and Kawakami asked him point blank if Melvin would return as manager in 2026. Here is what Minasian had to say:
“Yeah, I think with any staffing, especially with where we're at and how important these games are, it's just important to get through today, try and win today and just address any staffing, player moves, roster construction, all of those things that will be for 2026 at another time.
