A day after Hunter Pence praised his soon-to-be-retired former manager following his workout at Texas Rangers spring training, that former manager returned the favor.
“I’m not answering any questions about Hunter Pence,” said Bruce Bochy, who announced on Monday that he would be retiring after this season with the San Francisco Giants.
He was kidding, of course. Bochy, it seems, could have talked all day about the time he spent managing Pence, who played for Bochy from 2012 through last season.
Bochy, who will be managing his 25th season, said that Pence is one of most special players he has managed.
