Posted: Mon Oct 16, 2023 4:45 am
San Francisco Giants coach Alyssa Nakken has interviewed for the team\'s open managerial job, becoming the first woman to speak with an organization formally about leading its on-field operations, sources confirmed to ESPN on Sunday.
Nakken, 33, was the first female full-time coach in Major League Baseball when she was hired in January 2020 by Gabe Kapler, who the Giants fired in September. As a major league assistant coach, she has worked with players for the last four seasons, and in April 2022 she filled in as first-base coach for a game following an ejection.
