Giants could bring back beloved ex-World Series MVP in coaching role?

Buster Posey may be trying to get more of the gang back together.

The former NL MVP Posey, now the president of baseball operations for the San Francisco Giants, appeared this week on The Athletics The Windup podcast .

During the episode, Posey revealed that beloved former Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner is interested in returning to the team in an undetermined coaching capacity.

He surprised me that he wants to have some kind of involvement, Posey said of Bumgarner.

I kinda figured once he was done that [we would] kinda never hear from him again and he would just disappear and ...

go be in the woods somewhere.

But Im extremely excited about him being able to just share some of his experience with some of our young pitchers, added Posey.

I dont have anything set in stone with him yet, and I dont want to jump to anything with him.

But Im just happy that it seems like theres a willingness for him to want to give back because hes just a wealth of knowledge.

Bumgarner, still only 35, was longtime battery mates with Posey in San Francisco.

The lefty pitcher was on the Giants from 2009-19, earning four All-Star selections and featuring on San Franciscos World Series-winning teams in 2010, 2012, and 2014 (including as World Series MVP in 2014).

Bumgarner, who last pitched for the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2023, was also very well-loved by Giants fans, especially for his many fiery antics .

With Posey now in charge of San Franciscos front office (replacing the fired Farhan Zaidi), a ridiculous number of former Giants stars now have staff roles in the organization.

It looks like Bumgarner could be next on deck.
