Bochy set to step down after season

- Steve Gardner

The most successful manager in San Francisco Giants history will have one final season to add to his legacy.

As the full squad reported for spring training this week, skipper Bruce Bochy announced that the 2019 season will be his final one in the Giants dugout.

Bochy has managed the Giants since 2007, and although his 975-969 career record isn’t remarkable, he led the team to three World Series titles in a five-year span from 2010 to 2014. The 2010 championsh­ip was the first for the Giants since they moved to San Francisco from New York and snapped the franchise’s 56year drought without a title.

Bochy, 63, previously managed the San Diego Padres from 1995 to 2006.
