The San Francisco Giants have hired Bob Melvin as their new manager, signing him to a three-year deal. Melvin, a Bay Area native and former player, previously coached against the Giants while managing the Oakland Athletics. The Giants also announced that Farhan Zaidi, the team's president of baseball operations, has been extended through 2026. Melvin's contract is also through 2026. The team hopes Melvin's hiring will bring stability and attract free agents. Melvin expressed his excitement about managing the team he grew up rooting for and his desire to blend analytics with an 'old-school' feel.
