Bruce Bochy Not Interested In Managing In 2020

By Jeff Todd | October 18, 2019 at 8:49am CDT

After wrapping up his lengthy tenure as the manager of the Giants, Bruce Bochy is not going to head into the dugout with another organization — at least, not right away. According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today (via Twitter), Bochy has informed interested teams that he won’t interview for open managerial positions this winter.

It had at least been worth wondering whether Bochy might be wooed by one of the eight (now seven) teams that needed new skippers. He is only 64 years of age, after all, and has never said he’d be certain never to return to the dugout. There was a bit of a send-off tour as Bochy circled the majors this year, and he did say he was retiring, but that hasn’t stopped the speculation — including from within the Giants clubhouse.

For now, Bochy will remain with the San Francisco organization as a special assistant. But it seems he could be open to considering a return to a managerial role as soon as next year. Bochy has indicated before that he wouldn’t rule out that possibility in advance, preferring instead to see how things unfold once he steps away from the Giants.

There’s little doubt that other clubs would have interest. Bochy has overseen some rough recent campaigns in San Francisco, but it’s doubtful any other manager would’ve coaxed more from those rosters. And the mediocre conclusion doesn’t detract from the Bochy-led Giants’ remarkable run of three World Series titles in five years.

Indeed, the Padres — who Bochy managed for a dozen years before going up the coast — are even said to have “offered him a job.” (Whether that refers to the San Diego managerial vacancy isn’t made clear, but seems fair to presume.) It seems unlikely that particular position will be open this time next year, barring a calamitous first season for whomever is hired, but Bochy will surely end up fielding phone calls as the 2020 campaign draws to a close.

    Bruce Bochy: incredibly overrated, easy to out manage, ruins arms and careers with aplomb, and lucked into world series titles because his teams got hot in October in spite of him.

      Luck into one World Series title? Sure. Two? I dunno. Three? No way. Don’t forget he took the Padres to the World Series to. THE PADRES.

      I guess he would have been better off winning the division like 10 years in a row and have absolutely nothing to show for it, eh?

      If winning three World Series makes you incredibly overrated, what does that make all the other schmucks “managing” teams?

      Your whole life and family is overrated especially when you chop up people for doing a job you could never do even as you lack the mental capacity to do anything. Now, I request an apology from your parents for bringing your stupidity on earth. Go pick up your mom from the brothel and tell her to write my apology.

    Padres will hire a series of triple a managers and have each one manage a inning or 2.

    Bochy a HOF for sure. Took mediocre teams and won. Easily a no brainer. Teams don’t play hard for a loser manager. I wish him nothing but the best. From a ROYALS – Dbacks fan

    It would be a character issue, in my opinion, for him to graciously accept gifts and accolades and all the attention he received this season and then say, “nah, just kidding.”

    These rumors of Bochy to San Diego (or anywhere, really) seemed like journalists trying to find a story for people to read.

    He should enjoy his retirement. He has a few years to write a speech for Cooperstown.

    Offering the Padres job to a recently retired Bochy is such a typical slimeball Prellar move.

    Time to move on Bruce. Enjoy retirement and counting your managerial bankroll.
    Giants folded big time down the stretch in 2019 despite knowing it was Bochy’s last hurrah !!
    As Giants Manager, never could quite manage to beat the Padres.
    If he would have faced them in the WS he would have been 0-3.

      Because the Padres would lose to the Cardinals prior to that happening.

    Bochy did well in SF. 64, this could be the end of his career. Good luck to him
