SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — For over a decade, Bruce Bochy has stood in the middle of the clubhouse at Scottsdale Stadium and tried to find the right words to inspire his players before the first workout of a new season. His season-opening speech Monday, his 13th as a Giant, provided the most powerful message yet.
The 2019 season will be Bochy’s final one as a manager, he announced Monday morning. Bochy said it was his decision, and that he didn't want his future to be a distraction to the team.
"It's time," Bochy said on Monday.
