"You know how I feel about BoMel, said third baseman Matt Chapman, who played five seasons for Melvin in Oakland. I love him. I feel extremely grateful to play for him. He's the same guy everyday. He's been steady for us. He's always honest with the players. He has our back. He's done the best with what we've given him."
"I know I said some things last time and I think they got misconstrued. It had nothing to do with BoMel, Webb said after tossing 5 shutout innings. I think he's amazing at what he does. At the end of the day it comes down to us being able to play better as players. I think everyone in here would say the exact same thing. BoMel is a great leader of men and it's been amazing. I think BoMel's great."
Bob Melvin will meet with club officials Monday to review his job status. Melvin remains under contract for 2026 after president Buster Posey guaranteed his club option in July. The Giants ended the season with a 4-0 win over the Rockies and finished with four consecutive wins to reach a .500 season. The club fell from as many as 12 games above .500 and suffered multiple lengthy losing streaks after the All-Star break. Players attributed the season outcome to underperformance by themselves rather than leadership. Several players praised Melvin's steady, honest leadership and support. The team missed the final playoff spot by three wins.
