After a 98-loss season where nothing ever seemed to go right, the San Francisco Giants cleaned house Saturday.
Well, sort of.
The Giants fired pitching coach Dave Righetti, bullpen coach Mark Gardner, and assistant hitting coach Steve Decker Saturday. Officially, all three have been re-assigned within the organization, but let’s be honest, they were canned.
More changes to the staff are likely to follow — Giants general manager Bobby Evans did not give a vote of confidence to bench coach Ron Wotus or hitting coach Hensley Meulens on Saturday, and Evans even admitted that he’s interviewed candidates for Meulen’s job.
