Nov. 13 (UPI) -- The San Francisco Giants have named Gabe Kapler their 39th manager in franchise history.
San Francisco announced the hire Tuesday. Kapler spent the last two seasons managing the Philadelphia Phillies, before being fired in October. He compiled a 161-163 record as Phillies manager, never reaching the postseason with the National League East franchise. The Phillies' 81-81 record in 2019 marked the first time the franchise reached .500 since 2012.
