Giants Dismiss Bob Melvin After Two Seasons!

A Swift, Surprising Departure

In a major development today, Monday, September 29, 2025, the San Francisco Giants announced they have dismissed manager Bob Melvin after just two seasons at the helm. The news comes despite President of Baseball Operations Buster Posey having exercised Melvin's 2026 contract option earlier this year. The decision was announced shortly after the conclusion of the Giants' regular season, which saw them finish with a disappointing 81-81 record.

Two Seasons of Underperformance

Melvin, a Bay Area native and former Giants player, was brought in to lead the team back to contention. However, his two seasons resulted in a combined 161-163 record, with the team missing the playoffs in both years. Posey stated that "making a change in leadership was in the best interest of the team," citing a "disappointing and frustrating" end to the 2025 campaign where the team failed to meet its standards despite a significant offseason effort to bolster the roster.

The Search for a New Skipper

With Melvin out, Buster Posey will now have the opportunity to handpick his successor, marking a clean break from the previous front office regime that hired Melvin. The move guarantees the Giants will be on the hook for Melvin's 2026 contract, but it clears the path for Posey to install a manager who aligns with his long-term vision for the team. The organization will immediately begin its search for a new leader to guide the team forward. Melvin, a three-time Manager of the Year, now finds himself on the managerial market, though he had previously indicated the Giants job would be his last.

This video from the search results is relevant because it discusses the uncertainty surrounding Bob Melvin's job with the Giants just before his dismissal was announced.
