The San Francisco Giants have fired manager Gabe Kapler ahead of their final series of the season against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
The Giants were eliminated from postseason contention earlier this week, and will now have an interim manager for their final three games of a lost season.
I’m hearing the Giants are relieving Gabe Kapler of managerial duties, announcement imminent.
Kapler’s firing comes just two years after he led San Francisco to an NL West title in a 107-win season, the only non-Dodgers team to win the NL West in the last 11 years.
