In case you missed the news on Friday, Bruce Bochy is getting back in the game. The most successful and beloved manager in San Francisco Giants history has abandoned the retirement that never felt real, and has signed a three-year deal to manage the Texas Rangers.
I’m not sad about it. It’s bittersweet having Bochy don another team’s colors, and it will be weird as all hell when he steps out of the visitor’s dugout on August 11 when the Rangers are in town. But baseball’s better with Bochy in it, and it never really felt like he was done with the sport, so I can’t be upset.
