Giants release spring training schedule including Team USA, Sultanes de Monterrey exhibitions www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant...

Pat Burrell tells me he is staying with the Giants org. He’s not sure the role yet and has yet to talk to Tony Vitello but he’s looking forward to whatever opportunity presents itself. He’s such a positive presence, he seems to be someone who’d click really well with Vitello.

A little news in my annual chat with Greg Johnson: Giants owner evaluates Buster Posey, hiring Tony Vitello and Bruce Bochy’s return to S.F. www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant... via @sfchronicle

Tony Vitello comes to the San Francisco Giants with a past that inspires: the son of a legendary coach, a menace to siblings, beloved by his players. “The front office didn’t do this on a...

All about new Giants manager Tony Vitello raised as St. Louis sports royalty, but ‘he’s for real’ - why he’s known as “The Prince” in his family, how he honed that sense of humor and how he turned into one of the best college coaches in recent memory: www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant...

Within this report from me and @ShaynaRubin, we tell you what happened with the Nick Hundley pursuit, which may have precipitated this: Giants reportedly closing in on Tennessee’s Tony Vitello as next manager: www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant...

From @scottostler Why the Giants should stick with Bay Area sports success and hire a newbie www.sfchronicle.com/sports/ostle... via @sfchronicle

He’s been anticipated to be a candidate since the job opened up but the @chronicle has learned that Nick Hundley, Buster Posey’s former backup catcher, has indeed interviewed for the Giants manager job, more here: www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant... via @sfchronicle

From @ShaynaRubin Bob Melvin looks back at his time with Giants: ‘I have no regrets’ www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant... via @sfchronicle

I’ve since learned the name I threw into the mix earlier is interviewing with the Giants this afternoon

Throw a new name into the mix that I’ve heard is a candidate: The Vogt effect? Buster Posey seems focused on former catchers for Giants managing job www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant... via @sfchronicle

Will Giants bring back free agents Justin Verlander, Wilmer Flores and Dominic Smith? And what needs they might fill with other free agents? Might we have a reunion? www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant... via @sfchronicle

Bob Melvin says he’s had no assurances about his job security for next year. Says “It is what it is. We’ll see what the next day brings.” Asked if he plans to talk to Posey or Minasian today, he said he expects to talk to somebody tomorrow.

Giants’ Rafael Devers homers in 163rd game, achieves rare feat in season finale - next on the to-do list, a Gold Glove at first base? And: how much difference might a whole season of Devers' power make for SF next year? www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant... via @sfchronicle

In honor of Wilmer Flores, here's a fun one investigating the Flores Coolness Factor (Joc Pederson was legit baffled-irritated I even had to ask why Flores is so cool - "because he's FLO.") Why is the Giants’ clubhouse full of Wilmer Flores fans? www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant...

163 for Rafi! Rafael Devers’ 2025 will be the 34th time in MLB history a player plays at least 163 games in a season Others since 1990: 2008 Justin Morneau 2003 Hideki Matsui 1998 Albert Belle 1996 Todd Zeile 1996 Cal Ripken Jr.

Rafael Devers is the first player since Justin Morneau in 2008 to play in 163 regular-season games: www.mlb.com/news/rafael-...

How the Dodgers didn’t just put a dent in the Giants’ 2025 season, they almost totaled it; “It’s been a pretty embarrassing showing against these guys all year. We’re happy to win one today, but that shouldn’t be seen as any kind of (moral) victory.” www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant...

Why do (fairly) healthy Giants always find themselves pursuing (very) banged-up Dodgers? LA has more than three times the injuries this year and has clinched a playoff spot - we talk to Andrew Friedman and Zack Minasian about how this is the case: www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant...

Greg Papa made a surprise return to the airwaves, rejoining KNBR between treatments for cancer. He spoke with the Chronicle about his diagnosis, treatment and hopes for a permanent return.

And from me: Shohei Ohtani, baseball unicorn? Giants, teammates in awe of Dodgers’ two-way great, even if they now just expect the impossible from him; and why he's a bargain/positioning LA to be great for a long time. www.sfchronicle.com/sports/giant...
