"Posey said in a team release that he had met with Melvin Monday to let him know the team was moving on. After careful evaluation, we determined that making a change in leadership was in the best interest of the team, Posey said. 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."
"Melvin, 63, ends his time in San Francisco with a 161-163 record, failing to guide the Giants to the playoffs in both of his seasons at the helm. The Giants' decision to fire Melvin is a stark reversal of course after president of baseball operations Buster Posey gave Melvin a vote of confidence in July by picking up his option for the 2026 season."
The San Francisco Giants dismissed manager Bob Melvin after two seasons, leaving him with a 161-163 record and no playoff appearances. The organization had earlier exercised Melvin's 2026 option in July, but leadership determined a change was necessary after a disappointing finish. President of baseball operations Buster Posey informed Melvin of the move and said the team will seek a new leader. Melvin said he received no assurance about 2026 and would discuss his status with the club. Several players publicly supported Melvin, notably Matt Chapman, who praised Melvin's steadiness, honesty and support of players.
