The San Francisco Giants have a new manager, and he comes from one of college baseball’s traditional powerhouses. According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, the Giants are hiring Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello.
Vitello arrives in San Francisco after compiling a 341–131 record and leading Tennessee to a College World Series title in Knoxville. His jump to the pros had been rumored for days before being made official Wednesday afternoon. The move leaves the Vols with a major vacancy and positions the Giants as one of MLB’s most intriguing teams to watch in the year ahead.
