Weekend BP: Giants officially announce J.P. Martinez as pitching coach

Happy weekend, San Francisco Giants fans. May you enjoy all the postseason baseball, and/or the Niners exactly a small modicum of revenge, and/or the big college football matchups, and/or the winner-take-all Game 5 in the WNBA Finals.

You won’t enjoy Giants baseball, sadly. Not for a while. But on Friday the Giants did offer up a little bit of news, making their second hiring of the young offseason. As Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle had reported that they were preparing to do, the Giants formally announced that J.P. Martinez will be promoted from assistant pitching coach to pitching coach for the 2025 season.
