Former Angels, Rangers Manager Ron Washington Joining Giants as Infield Coach
Ron Washington brings over 50 years of pro experience to assist new Giants manager Tony Vitello with infield coaching, working closely with Rafael Devers and Bryce Eldridge.
- On Thursday, the San Francisco Giants are finalizing a deal to add Ron Washington, former Los Angeles Angels manager, as their major-league infield coach, Zack Minasian confirmed.

- Washington, 73, brings more than 50 years in pro ball, managing the Texas Rangers to two AL Pennants and a 664-611 record while playing 564 major-league games.
- They are still finalizing Washington's particulars, but he is expected to work with Rafael Devers and Bryce Eldridge, both learning first base and sharing time with Ron Wotus in spring training.
- Amid a broader staff build-out, the Giants have added veteran advisors Bruce Bochy, Dusty Baker, and Jayce Tingler to Tony Vitello's staff, aiming to announce hires around next week's Winter Meetings.
