Shortly after the end of a disappointing 3rd place finish that left San Diego out of the playoffs, Padres General Manager AJ Preller was asked about his relationship with manager Bob Melvin and the skipper's future in San Diego. Preller downplayed any major rifts between the two and said Melvin is under contract so he's going to be the Padres manager moving forward.
The Friars landed Melvin in very much the same way after the 2021 season, asking the A's for an interview then hiring him away without Oakland asking for anything in return.Sign up for NBC San Diego newsletters. Melvin led the Padres to the National League Championship Series in 2022 before this year's 82-80 campaign. If he does end up in San Francisco the Padres would likely look at internal candidates Mike Schildt, the 2019 National League Manager of the Year with St. Louis, and bench coach Ryan Flaherty as replacement options.
While the Padres roster is certainly stacked with more talent the Giants job would likely be attractive to Melvin. He's a Bay Area native who went to Cal and spent three years playing catcher for the Giants. He also has a good relationship with San Francisco General Manager Farhan Zaidi from their days together in Oakland.
