It seems the Giants have found their man. 

The San Francisco ballclub is expected to announce the hiring of Bob Melvin as the team’s next manager, according to multiple reports.

The Giants moved quickly in securing their top choice for the job after the San Diego Padres granted them permission to speak with Melvin about the job. 

Melvin met with several Giants officials on the baseball ops and ownership side on Monday, according to The Athletic, and everything seemed to reaffirm him as their choice for the job.

The 61-year-old Bay Area native returns home for his 21st season as an MLB manager.

Melvin grew up in the area, played for the Giants during his time as a big-league catcher and managed the Athletics from 2011 to 2021, leading Oakland to the playoffs six times.

Melvin got his start as a manager in 2003 when he replaced Lou Piniella in Seattle.

After two years with the Mariners, Melvin went to the Diamondbacks and managed in Arizona for four-plus seasons before getting fired in May 2009.

He was able to get out of his A’s contract after the 2021 season and take a job with the Padres, where he helped lead San Diego to the NLCS in 2022. 

The 2023 campaign came with its fair share of ups and downs and the Padres missed the playoffs despite their $250 million payroll.

Melvin also clashed with A.J. Preller, but the Padres general manager had said earlier this month that the team planned to keep Melvin as skipper. 

Melvin had one year left on his contract in San Diego. 

He’s taking over a Giants team looking to reshape the clubhouse culture and bounce back from a season that fell well short of the expectations they had on them. 

San Francisco finished the year 79-83 under Gabe Kapler, who was fired earlier this month. 

In his three-plus seasons leading the Giants, Kapler went 295-248 and helped lead the ballclub to a franchise-record 107 wins in 2021.
