Lee Jung-hoo (26, San Francisco) will work with coach Bob Melvin (63) next year. It was a poor team performance, but it gave me strength once again.

The San Francisco Giants announced on the 2nd (Korea time) that manager Bob Melvin (63) exercised his 2026 contract option with manager Melvin.

MLB.COM added 'Timing might be weird, but...' San Francisco has lost six of its last seven games and has been sluggish in 15 games with 11.




San Francisco remains in third place in the National League West with 45 wins and 40 losses until the 1st. He is eight games away from the first-place LA Dodgers (53 wins and 32 losses).

Usually, there would have been a voice of 'hardness', but rather, the San Francisco club showed strong trust.

Buster Posey, president of San Francisco's baseball division, said `Melvin is more prepared than anyone in every game, every day.' Posey went on to say, "If you have a hard time at a certain time, there's a temptation to point the finger at 'coaching staff is the problem'." "But ultimately I believe our players are great, and I believe in the coaching staff. They should play better baseball. If the chief executive places the blame on anyone, the responsibility should be on me," he stressed.

"It means a lot," Melvin said. "Except for the recent slump we've been going through, we're making a good trend. We've got players who will influence the team in the future, and we've traded. We have a player who will be the key in the future."

Melvin continued "This shows what Posey is like. I know how hard this is and how hard the coaching staff is. Timing can be unique, but it's not surprising. He really supported us a lot. Our conversation from spring training to now is very good. We are in agreement"I'm very grateful" he said.

Melvin is in his second season with San Francisco this year. During his 22 years as a coach, he made eight postseason appearances.
