The San Francisco Giants have hired Bob Melvin as their new manager, according to multiple sources. Melvin will leave his position as the manager of the San Diego Padres to join the Giants. The hiring of Melvin is seen as a critical move for Giants President of Baseball Operations, Farhan Zaidi, who had a previous working relationship with Melvin when they were both with the Oakland Athletics. The Giants have not disclosed the terms of Melvin's contract. Melvin, a Bay Area native, has a contract with the Giants through 2026. He will be introduced as the team's new manager at a press conference at Oracle Park.
Yes, Bob Melvin's reputation with Pacific Rim players should help the Giants recruit Yamamoto/Lee. But there's a free agent much closer to home that should be motivated, too. And the more you think about Matt Chapman, the more he fits what the Giants need: https://t.co/UtGjOHMAfX

Farhan Zaidi said his familiarity with Bob Melvin from Oakland was a "secondary" factor. But as @timkawakami details, their partnership is critical -- and bringing Melvin aboard might have been the key for Zaidi to have a chance at seeing his job through. https://t.co/15bunrqb6X

Bob Melvin to be introduced as Giants' new manager Wednesday morning at a news conference at Oracle Park. The No. 1 choice from the day Gabe Kapler was fired. "Big announcement" is all Giants say in a press release, not wanting to announce anything on a day a Game 7 was played.
The Giants are holding a press conference tomorrow at 10:30 a.m., where they're expected to introduce Bob Melvin as their next manager.

Kerry Crowley laid out a compelling case that the Giants did well to jump the market hiring Melvin now because of all the other openings that have cropped up. Giants are a second division squad for another 3-5 years, but he gives them some credibility.

Can confirm, as @extrabaggs first reported, that Bob Melvin will take the Giants job. The Padres will begin the search for their fourth full-time manager in six years, though they might not go far. Internal candidates Mike Shildt or Ryan Flaherty might make the most sense.
It sounds as if the Giants will announce Bob Melvin as their manager tomorrow.
