Matt Quatraro In Running For Giants Manager Job

By Dylan A. Chase | October 17, 2019 at 12:50pm CDT

Per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, Rays bench coach Matt Quatraro is in consideration for the Giants managerial opening (link).

Quatraro, 45, was previously the assistant hitting coach for the Indians from 2014 through 2017, and served as the Rays’ third base coach in 2018. The New York native was an All-American as a player at Old Dominion and played for several minor league seasons following his selection in the eighth round of the 1996 MLB draft by the then Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

According to a tweet from Henry Schulmann of the San Francisco Chronicle, Giants president Farhan Zaidi is a “fan” of Rays manager Kevin Cash, with particular admiration for his club’s usage of voluminous data and non-traditional strategies–two areas in which a bench coach would figure to have a prominent role (link).

Other reported candidates for the Giants job include Royals quality control and catching coach Pedro Grifol, former Phillies manager Gabe Kapler, Athletics quality control coach Mark Kotsay, Giants bench coach Hensley Meulens, and Giants third base coach Ron Wotus.

    ……but is Madbum or Will Smith a Fan? These Guys and others have been quoted,that it depends on who they pick for a Manager weather they return,so WOTUS is a Safe Pick and he’s paid his Dues.

      Can’t decide the next manager based on the preferences of 2 players that will be out of their prime by the end of their contracts. We need a shift from old to new. A wotus/matheny don’t fit in with zaidis model. The rays and As made the WC with the lowest payrolls. The plans has always been to use their model like the dodgers by injecting more $$

      Wotus. LOL. Dude was part of a coaching staff that just booked it’s 3rd consecutive below .500 losing season. So, Zaidi is going to now reward him with the managerial job?
      This isn’t Bobby Evans. Zaidi was hired to change the losing culture in Frisco not prolong it
      Also, This isn’t the NBA . Zaidi isn’t going to do a clubhouse poll / survey on who he should hire.

        I’ve mentioned it before and I’ll say it again. Look at Joe Torre’s record before he got the Yankees job. 90% of the people wouldn’t have wanted that Joe Torre today

        Wotus was also a part of 3 WS titles. Way to be balanced in your assessment. Not too biased huh?

          Yeah, the first WS title was a decade ago.The last a half decade ago. The Giants aren’t that organization anymore. They’re terrible now

          If it’s about old World Series wins they should interview Joe Torre

      They would be dumb to resign either, the club is 2 or three years away from serious contention and needs to be built from the ground up for long term success neither ic those two player fit in any way

    I honestly don’t see the Giants hiring too far outside of Zaidi’s circle of guys he’s comfortable in bossing around from above. Seems like he basically gave Bochy a huge leash to run the team his last year out of respect. While much of the NL looked like the Battle of Kursk with all the tanks, SF is always trying to win, even when losing would give them better draft picks. Not sure if he’ll hand the team to Wotus, but think there will be a huge power vacuum from Bochy’s departure. It was never going to be a guy like Joe Madden. It’s going to be someone who can follow orders…

      You are correct. The new hire will have absolutely no connection to Bochy or his staff
      Zaidi is looking for fundamental change. Not more of the same

    The Giants are one the storied franchises in the game. No offense to the Rays but if the Giants are looking at the Tampa organization they should make a play to hire Kevin Cash and let Tampa hire this Matt Quatraro guy.

      That isn’t really how things work. Cash is under contract. The Giants would have to trade for him or the Rays would have to allow him to even interview for the position. Neither is going to happen.
