Bruce Bochy Noncommittal On Padres Opening

By Dylan A. Chase | September 21, 2019 at 7:07pm CDT

Giants skipper Bruce Bochy recently recorded his 2000th victory behind the reins of a big league dugout–a nice capstone to what has largely been expected to be his final season as a manager. However, with the firing of Andy Green in San Diego, speculation has already mounted around a potential Bochy-San Diego reunion. As we previously relayed from Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune, Bochy is indeed on the Padres shortlist of potential Green replacements, and reporters, including Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle, were quick to press Bochy today on his willingness to don Padre brown in 2020 (link).

“I’m not even going there,” Bochy said when asked about the San Diego opening, “I’m concentrating here right now doing what I’m supposed to do. That’s the last thing on my mind right now, as much as we’re in the last week here.”

While Bochy didn’t even want to entertain the possibility of an intra-division heel-turn, it’s worth noting that he has not necessarily ruled out a return to managing. Back in Spring Training, Schulman relays that Bochy said “Never is a long time” when he was asked if 2019 would truly be his final season as a manager.  As San Diego’s skipper from 1995 to 2006, Bochy amassed a 951-975 managerial record–a stretch that also contained one Manager of the Year award in 1996 and an NL pennant in 1998.

Besides his history with the organization, a few other factors may fuel Bochy-to-San Diego rumors in the short term. For one, the February announcement of Bochy’s retirement coincided with San Francisco’s integration of Farhan Zaidi as President of Baseball Operations this past November; although team officials dispelled notions at the time that Bochy was politely nudged toward the door with Zaidi’s arrival in SF, changes in leadership do often precipitate changes at the managerial level. Secondly, it’s also fair to note that Bochy makes his offseason home in the San Diego exurb of Poway, so speculation will likely continue until he definitively declines consideration for the Padres job.

For what it’s worth, Bob Nightengale of USA Today divulged this afternoon that San Diego was eating about $2.5MM in firing Green with two years left on his contract (link). Terms of Green’s 2017 managerial extension had been previously unreported, so the revelation of his approximately $1.25MM yearly salary may be relevant in trying to pinpoint his potential successor. Bochy has been performing under a $6MM per annum contract with San Francisco since the 2017 season, so a southbound move to San Diego would require either a substantial pay cut for Bochy or an unprecedented budgetary bump from the Padre ownership group.

          For 3-5 years down the road they have improved. For right now, next year, you’d much prefer the Padres situation. If bochy comes back, it’s 2-3 years, tops.

          @Vince If you are so sure that Bumgarner won’t leave then the decision to not trade him looks even worse. Could have pulled a Chapman and traded him for a haul of prospects then brought him back as a FA.

    I think it’s a prime position for any manager to walk into. Everyone knows he was forced into retirement rather than getting terminated at the end of last year when Farhan came aboard. As a Giants fan, loved having him as a manager, and respect him if he chooses to continue managing.

          I don’t think it worked out quite that way. Zaidi came in and it was announce by the team Bochy would retire after this season.

          Sometimes it’s just time with one team and it’s only logical that Z would want his own guy.

          Oddly enough, I found that it’s people who things like “Do you have a crystal ball?” and “Are you his next door neighbor or something?” who have the least compelling arguments to make.

          Bochy literally said before the season started that he’s retiring. His health isn’t great right now and he wants to focus on that.

        Whenever a new GM or President of Baseball Operations comes in they want to pick their own guy, but because Bochy has been so popular it’d be sacrilegious to fire him before his contract was over. Add that on top of the Giants are in full rebuild mode and have no chance of contending anytime soon it made no sense to bring Bochy back for any longer at any length or cost of contract compared to what he’s already making. So the most logical solution for both parties was to let the contract play out and then Farhan can select the manager of his choosing without an all out revolt from the SF fan base. Heck I think Farhan even did him a favor by not trading everyone away at the deadline and going for the wild card even though realistically they never stood a chance.

        I don’t think that’s true. I think the hiring of Zaidi spelled the end, at least as far as Giants ownership/management was concerned.

        He’s respected in SF, but also an old-legion, old-school manager. Zaidi is building an analytics-driven team and Bochy is in the way of that.

          Exactly they would never fire him and with Farhan being hired this past off season to be their President of Baseball Operations and oversee a full rebuild it made sense to let Bochy’s contract play out this year. I highly doubt that Bochy had any interest in resigning with SF to go through that kind of losing year in and year out until they’re relevant again when he’s already 64, but again I can’t speak for him as I’m not him, I can only assume. Padres being up and coming and him living in the San Diego area it just makes sense that he’d be open to it. I’m not saying the Padres are going to hire him as their next manager, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

    About 3 months ago, Bochy was on San Diego 1360 saying he still want’s to be involved in baseball; using Trevor Hoffman’s role with the Padres as an example. I’d be shocked if he didn’t take a position with the Padres in some front office role over the next couple of years, if not this offseason.

        He hasn’t been able to. The Giants got old (while still competitive every year) their farm was never developed and any trade stock slowly declined. Heck, I’d say without Bochy, the Giants might have done a lot worse the last 5 years. He constant keeps them in the hunt some how. The Giants realize that rebuild is inevitable, and this is the end.

          Espically Bumgarner. They are one of the few teams that will be willing to overpay for his past and the need is there

        bro, we understand your view on his retirement. I’ve heard and read what you have. It’s not a fore sure thing either way, id say much more leaning toward a FOH position which is has said would interest him. However, you don’t know what they are offering (if they even are) so give people the ability to voice their opinion without degrading them. Your just coming off as arrogant.

          My what is just coming off as arrogant?

          And it’s not my view. I have provided you with the quote from Twitter more than once.

          Now where is you straight from the horse’s mouth quote that Bochy isn’t actually retiring?

    Green firing resets everything- Bochy should consider it if he has any doubt about retirement

    I love Boch’. As a longtime Padre fan, I saw him manage some flat out horrible Padre teams. So I was thrilled he got his rings in SF. But as much as I’d like to see him return to SD, I just have a feeling, the Padre owners will go with someone far less obvious, like Girardi or maybe even Ron Washington, who had a ton of history with Preller in Texas. I’d be fine with either. But for the love of God, NO MORE ROOKIE MANAGERS in PadreLand, please. And with fingers crossed, here’s to hoping Seidler tells Preller “go get Bruce Bochy…and bring him back home”.

      It’s going to be a rookie manager.

      And the Preller-Texas connection is played out at this point.

        It won’t be a rookie Mgr. I say Ron Washington, Showalter or Boch and more than likely a three yr deal for $9MM with bonuses for Playoffs and WS appearance.

          Yes it will be a rookie manager. Teams aren’t interested in old school guys like Washington anymore. Only two who have been hired in the 2010s are Dusty Baker, who got axed after two years and Ron Gardenhire, who it’s pretty certain will be cut loose once the Tigers think they are ready to return to relevance in the AL Central.

          And for the last time, BOCHY. IS. RETIRING!!!!!!!!

      They had a great rookie manager waiting in the wings but they kicked him to the curb. That Dave Roberts guy

        Dave is good at being the manager of a very analytical driven front office, but he makes questionable decisions especially with the bullpen and relies on guys for too long when they don’t have it. He’s not the worst, but I also wouldn’t say he’s the best in my honest opinion.

          With that roster all Dave can really do is not screw things up.

    if he is willing to keep going it should be interesting to see where he might why to go. Id love him over Kapler but that’s obviously quite unlikely.

    The Padres performed better with small ball, speed, hits, and guys on base. Manufacture runs. Pitching and defense, plus timely hits.

    I would say they are a manager, a starting pitcher, and a set bullpen away from the playoffs.

      They need more depth in the OF, Myers stinks, Renfore K’s far too often, Maragot needs to hit at least .270 to lead off. So I’d add at least one OF to that list, two SP’s not one and a Mgr that commands respect. If they can trade Myers for another high paid player out there who is underperforming do it.

        They still have Trammell and CJ abrams that they could use, and Buddy Reed (as a 4th) I say they go after Bryant or Betts though, add an ACE and they will be good to go.

      That would be 2010 the last time they really played small ball and I agree it was exciting except for the last two weeks

    I’d be pretty surprised. I guess we’ll see. It would be tough to see him in the visitors dugout, on the flipside more power to him if he wants to continue in the game… and closer to home. Imagine him coaxing Flan away from his music career!! Either way, the Future HOF manager has been a joy to watch. Respect.

          You’re 12, so there’s really no point in responding. But Bochy literally said he’s retiring.

    Bochy piloted the Padres to the best season ever. Then they dumped him. Why would he want to go back to a team that underperformed. He is beyond coaching a bunch of deadbeats.

    To me Bochy seems to have a lot of integrity (of course I don’t know him). It would seem out of character to me that he’d accept all of these farewell gifts and accolades from other teams if he were going to manage a team again. Yes, he’d already made his retirement announcement before the Padres job opened up. He’d have to return a lot of booze! Aaawwwwkkkkwwwwaaaarrrrrdddd! He may play some role in baseball and a few miles from his house makes sense. But the big job? I’m thinking no
