BREAKING: Giants Near Completion of Dramatic Coaching Overhaul — Buster Posey and Front Office Push for a New Era at Oracle Park
The transformation of the San Francisco Giants is almost complete.
According to team and league sources, the Giants are nearing the final stages of filling out their new-look coaching staff, signaling a dramatic reset following a disappointing 2025 season. The overhaul — led by CEO Larry Baer, president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi, and principal partner Buster Posey — reflects a franchise intent on rediscovering its identity both on and off the field.
It’s more than a staffing shift. It’s a philosophical change.
“Culture starts with leadership,” Posey said during a recent interview. “We want a group that values communication, accountability, and the kind of consistency fans in San Francisco deserve.”
Sources close to the organization indicate that the Giants are finalizing decisions on a new hitting coach and bench coach, with several internal candidates — including members of the player development department — being considered. One name reportedly in the mix is a former player with deep Bay Area roots, someone Posey personally advocated for.
While the Giants haven’t confirmed the hires publicly, team insiders suggest that the coaching core is “95% complete.” The new staff will feature a blend of player-focused instructors and analytics-minded coordinators — an intentional balance meant to bridge the communication gap that plagued last season’s clubhouse.
After parting ways with several coaches earlier this offseason, including hitting coordinator Justin Viele and bullpen assistant Craig Albernaz, the Giants made it clear that the old model wasn’t working. The new approach, Posey emphasized, will prioritize unity over hierarchy.
“We’re not looking for egos,” he said. “We’re looking for teachers — people who can connect with our players and help them grow.”
The process has been collaborative, involving input from manager Tony Vitello, who joined the Giants amid both excitement and controversy earlier this month. Despite initial skepticism from some corners of baseball, Vitello’s energy and communication style have reportedly resonated with players during early offseason meetings.
“He’s exactly what this clubhouse needed — fire, honesty, and belief,” one Giants player told The Athletic. “And Posey’s presence behind the scenes gives everything credibility. It feels like we’re building something real again.”
That “something real” is what Giants fans have been yearning for. Since the championship era of 2010–2014, the team has struggled to find stability — alternating between rebuilding years and false starts. The Posey-led leadership group has made no secret of its ambition to restore that culture of competitiveness and connection.
As the final coaching pieces come together, attention will soon turn to the roster — specifically how the new staff will influence free agency and player development.
“This is about identity,” Zaidi said. “We want coaches who understand what it means to wear a Giants uniform — to represent this city, this fan base, and this legacy.”
The Giants expect to formally announce their completed staff within the next two weeks, possibly before the start of the Winter Meetings. But even before the names are finalized, one thing is clear: Posey’s fingerprints are everywhere.
This isn’t just a coaching rebuild. It’s a cultural reset — one led by the quiet, relentless competitor who once defined San Francisco baseball.
And as Oracle Park prepares for spring, the city can feel it — the heart of the Giants is beating again.
