The San Francisco Giants' coaching staff under new manager Bob Melvin has finally been finalized. When the Giants announced most of their staff late last week, there were some notable omissions: they didn't having a pitching coach nor a bullpen coach. Today, those positions were officially filled. Bryan Price, longtime MLB pitching coach and former Reds manager, will be the SF Giants' new pitching coach, and Garvin Alston will be promoted from Triple-A to be the Giants' bullpen coach.
In other news, today was the deadline for teams to add players to the 40-man roster to protect them from the upcoming Rule 5 Draft. The SF Giants made a somewhat surprising move by adding RHP Trevor McDonald, who's only pitched as high as A-ball. LHP Erik Miller and RHP Kai-Wei Teng were also added and figure to be in the pitching mix next season.
The legacy of the late Peter Seidler is discussed last. Seidler, the owner of the San Diego Padres, died today at the age of 63. It's news that sent shock waves throughout the industry. Seidler is beloved in San Diego for putting his money where his mouth was after becoming the majority owner of the team after the 2020 season. The Padres have added all kinds of star talent since, and even though they didn't have a very good 2023, they still set a franchise record for attendance. RIP Peter Seidler, gone too soon.
