Former Angels and Rangers manager Ron Washington is returning to the Bay Area to become infield coach for the San Francisco Giants on new manager Tony Vitello's staff.
Washington worked for nearly two decades in the same role for the Oakland Athletics, developing many stars with his detailed work hours before the first pitch.
"We are working out the logistics. I have agreed to join the Giants," Washington told The Associated Press in a text message Thursday. "I get a chance to continue to make a difference."
