Bob Melvin will leave the Padres to become the manager of the Giants, sources have confirmed to ESPN.
San Diego granted Melvin permission to interview with the division rival Giants earlier this week, paving the way for the end of a contentious two-year relationship between the Padres and the three-time Manager of the Year.
The Padres said earlier this month that they intended to retain Melvin and general manager A.J. Preller, even after going just 82-80 en route a third-place finish in the National League West. Melvin managed the Padres for two seasons, reaching the 2022 NL Championship Series but then missing the playoffs this season with a $258 million payroll, the third-highest in the majors. He will replace Gabe Kapler with the Giants, who went 79-83 this season.
