Bumgarner Could Join Giants Coaching Staff

Buster Posey, now the president of baseball operations for the San Francisco Giants, hinted at the possibility of former teammate Madison Bumgarner returning to the organization in a non-playing capacity. Bumgarner, a key figure in the Giants' World Series wins in 2010, 2012, and 2014, has expressed interest in sharing his experience with young pitchers. While Posey mentioned that nothing is finalized, he suggested Bumgarner's involvement could be limited, perhaps joining the team during spring training. This potential reunion is exciting for the Giants, as Bumgarner's wealth of knowledge and competitive mentality could greatly benefit the team's pitching staff. Despite Bumgarner not officially retiring, he has not played since being released by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2023. The Giants' history of involving former stars in advisory roles could make this a fitting opportunity for Bumgarner.
