""Modesto deserves great baseball, and I'm honored to help build that from day one. We're going to play hard, play smart, and represent this city the right way," said Snow in the announcement."
"He even caused a minor kerfuffle when he implied in a San Francisco Chronicle interview that former Giants President of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi was ignoring his interest, though Snow later clarified to the Chronicle that ignored interest was actually just a bad game of telephone because of a mistaken phone number."
"In a 2024 KNBR interview, Snow said it would be wise for Giants President of Baseball Operations Buster Posey to "surround himself with some good people" and that he, Snow, would be a smart place to start."
J.T. Snow has been named manager of the Modesto Glow Riders for the team's inaugural season. The Glow Riders join the Pioneer League, an independent minor league; the Oakland Ballers won the league last season. Snow spent most of his 15-year playing career with the San Francisco Giants, helped reach the 2002 World Series and was part of the 2003 100-win team. Snow won six Gold Glove awards at first base from 1995 to 2000. Since retiring in 2008 he has worked as a guest instructor, a radio guest host, coached with the Oakland Ballers in 2024, and actively pursued coaching and managerial roles, including seeking a return to the Giants.
