The team enjoyed the brilliant heyday of winning the World Series three times as a coach. This time, he is not a manager but a special advisor for the baseball operation part.
U.S. media, including MLB Trade Rumors, recruited former coach Bruce Bochy, who led the team's heyday, as a special adviser on the 11th (Korea time)' he said. The former coach Bochi is expected to take charge of both baseball operations and business affairs at the same time, he said.
"Borch's return to our club means a lot to us," said Buster Posey, president of San Francisco's baseball operations division. "His career, leadership, and eye for games are incomparable to anyone. His vision is to be a priceless help to our team's sustainable success building process."
"It's a joy to be back in San Francisco with friendly faces," Bochy said. "This club and city mean a lot to me and my family. Thank you for the opportunity, and I will do my best to contribute to the team as much as I can."

He led the San Diego Padres to four World Series wins from 1995-2006, San Francisco from 2007-2019, and Texas Rangers from 2023-2025.
In particular, he enjoyed his prime as a leader by lifting the World Series trophy three times in 2010, 2012, and 2014 when he was the San Francisco coach.
San Francisco fired manager Bob Melvin, who failed to advance to the postseason this season, and appointed a new manager Tony Bytelo, a former college coach with no big league experience. It is expected that former coach Bochy's experience and advice will make up for the shortcomings of the rookie think tank.
Coach Bochy positively evaluated Hwang Jae-kyun (KT Wiz), who made his major league debut in 2017 when he was the San Francisco coach, saying, `He is passionate and gives positive energy to the team.' and helped him adapt to the big leagues. It is also expected that the encouragement and advice of the master will be a great help to Lee Jung-hoo, who will mark his third year in San Francisco next season.
