Bob Melvin is out as manager of the Giants. He went 161-163 in his two seasons with San Francisco and missed the playoffs both years.
Will be interesting to see who is in the dugout for the Giants next year.
The Giants have been at or near sea level since winning 107 regular season games in ’21. Placing Melvin in the soup line after only 2 seasons sends a clear message that a .500 W/L record is no where near good enough for that storied franchise. The Giants are entirely committed to winning baseball games…Plain and simple.
And the Rangers and Bruce Bochy have mutually agreed to part ways.
Saw an article about Bochy willing to talk to Buster Posey about a return to the Giants dugout.
Yahoo/MLB now reporting that Snitker from the Braves will move into a front office/advisory role.
With all these openings I’d say Pugs has a chance at becoming a big league manager!
Just noting that John Mozeliak is a Colorado native and began his career with the Rockies…
The Colorado Rockies announced today that Bill Schmidt has stepped down from his role as general manager.

I’m too much of a softie, Rat…….though a team certainly could do worse. I would have all sorts of great ideas. For example, if the team ever found itself immersed in a terrible slump, I would definitely lighten the air by drawing that day’s batting order out of a Cards batting helmet. There’s a million things a skipper could do to kick-start a lethargic bunch.
Pugs is a modern Bill Veeck.
According to Yahoo/MLB Albert Pujols is expected to interview for the Angels managerial opening.
The folks in Anaheim wouldn’t be that dumb, would they???
The Rockies are parting ways with their general manager. Maybe Mo goes back to his original stomping grounds?
Great read on the esteemed Mr. Veeck….thanks Brian! Yeah Bill knew how to keep his fan base happy and amused. These are professionals, so one can’t be a jokester all the time. But some properly timed gimmicks and fun events are what this once great game dearly misses.
One filled.
The Texas Rangers have hired Skip Schumaker as their new manager. Schumaker, 45, was the National League Manager of the Year in 2023 and spent the last year as a special assistant with the Rangers. He takes over for future Hall of Famer Bruce Bochy.

I wish Skip well in Texas. Skip would have actually been my leading candidate to replace Marmol if the Cards got rid of him this year, but I did not expect them to do that.
The Schumaker hire looks like a good one for the Dallas-Ft Worth ballclub.
A buddy of mine from our vintage baseball days is good friends with Mozeliak’s dad. I should call him to see if he has talked to Mo Sr on whether or not Little Mo is interested in running the show out here.
Probably not – if he thought DeWitt was cheap, wait until he tries to get anything out of Monfort.
Sources: Alltime great Albert Pujols is the first choice of Angels/Arte Moreno to manage following positive meeting. They still need to work out contract but Pujols is expected to be given choice of coaches if they can finalize the $.

Holy Philosophical Differences, Batman!
He was under contract through 2027.

The Angels can’t – CANNOT – be stupid enough to hire Pujols as manager.
They just simply can’t be that stupid.
Nobody could be that dumb.
