In a press conference on Wednesday, Buster Posey, the Giants' president of baseball operations, was asked if he'd consider his old manager Bruce Bochy for the role. Posey said he talked to Bochy "a couple of days ago," but he quickly shut down the rumors about Bochy returning to his old job.

A few hours after the Giants parted ways with Bob Melvin, the Texas Rangers announced that Bruce Bochy would not be back as their manager.
