Source: SF Giants to retain Ron Wotus on coaching staff under new manager Gabe Kapler

SAN FRANCISCO — The longest-tenured coach in San Francisco Giants history is returning to the staff in 2020.

A source told the Bay Area News Group the Giants will retain veteran coach Ron Wotus under first-year manager Gabe Kapler.

It’s unclear whether Wotus will return as the Giants’ third base coach or if he’ll go back to a role he held previously as the bench coach, but the decision to bring Wotus back is expected to be popular with fans.

Wotus has worked in the Giants organization since 1991 when he managed the Single-A San Jose Giants.
