The San Francisco Giants hired former manager Bruce Bochy as a special advisor to baseball operations on Monday, six years after he last managed the National League West club.

Bochy, 70, was considered a candidate to fill the team's vacant manager position this offseason, but that role went to Tennessee's Tony Vitello.

'Having Boch back in the organization means a great deal to all of us,' Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey said in a statement. 'His experience, leadership and feel for the game are unmatched, and his perspective will be invaluable as we continue building towards sustained success.'

In 28 seasons as a major league manager, Bochy served 13 of those with the Giants from 2007-19. He guided the team to World Series titles in 2010, 2012 and 2014.

'I couldn't be more excited to reconnect with the Giants organization and so many familiar faces,' Bochy said. 'This organization and city mean a lot to me and my family, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute any way I can.'

Bochy had a 1,052-1,054 record as the Giants manager and has gone 2,252-2,266 over his managerial career while also serving in the role with the San Diego Padres (1995-2006) and Texas Rangers (2023-25).

Bochy and the Rangers mutually agreed to part ways the team announced Sept. 29, one day after the season ended. Texas, which won the World Series under Bochy in 2023, went 81-81 this past season.
