The San Francisco Giants are closing in Tennessee baseball coach Tony Vitello as their next manager, The Athletic reported. Vitello’s name has come up in connection with multiple managerial searches this cycle.
Late last month, The Athletic reported Vitello as one of the names linked to the Giants’ job. San Francisco parted ways with Bob Melvin at the end of the season, meaning president of baseball operations Buster Posey would be looking for a new skipper. In a text to The Athletic, Vitello said, “There is nothing to confirm.”
In addition to the Giants’ job, Vitello was also linked to the Atlanta Braves’ opening. They opted not to bring Brian Snitker back after a rocky 2025 season.
