Bruce Bochy and the San Francisco Giants had a long, successful partnership; over 13 seasons, Bochy led the Giants to a pair of NL West championships and three World Series titles. Following a third consecutive losing season and fourth without a playoff appearance, the Giants appear as if they could be moving on from manager Bob Melvin, who is completing his second year in San Francisco. “And if Melvin is fired, guess who could wind up to be Buster Posey’s top choice to replace Melvin?” USA Today's Bob Nightengale wrote. In 2010, Bochy and Posey helped lead the Giants to their first World Series since 1954, when they were still the New York Giants. In his first season, he led Texas to a World Series title.
