The San Francisco Giants fired manager Bob Melvin after two seasons with the club, they announced Monday.
"After careful evaluation, we determined that making a change in leadership was in the best interest of the team," Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey said in a statement. "The last couple of months have been both disappointing and frustrating for all of us, and we did not perform up to our standards. We now turn our focus to identifying a new leader to guide us forward."
San Francisco chose to let Melvin go less than three months after picking up the 2026 club option on his contract.
