Alyssa Nakken keeps making history with the San Francisco Giants. In 2020, Nakken became the first full-time, in-uniform female coach in MLB history. Last week, according to a report by The Athletic's Andrew Baggarly, Nakken is believed to have become the first woman to interview for an MLB managerial position. Nakken would bring several qualifications to the job, including her experience playing high-level collegiate softball, being in the SF Giants organization since 2014 (first as a baseball operations intern), having a master's in sports management, and being a full-time MLB coach since 2020. She's also described as exceptionally personable and someone who puts people at ease, which is an important trait the Giants are looking for in their next manager.

In another report from Baggarly, we learn that the Giants were heavily involved in Sean Murphy trade talks last offseason. According to the report, the Giants were willing to trade Marco Luciano for Murphy, who was entering his age-28 season and had three more years of team control. Murphy is one of the top catchers, both offensively and defensively, in MLB. The A's, however, wanted Kyle Harrison and so the deal never materialized.

Nine years ago today, one of the best moments in San Francisco Giants history happened. Travis Ishikawa hit a 2-0 pitch deep into right, and as it snuck over the 24-foot high wall, the Giants had won the pennant—for the third time in five years. Ishikawa's walk-off homer to win the pennant will stand forever as one of the greatest moments in franchise history, and its anniversary is always a clear reminder of what can only be described as the Golden Age of San Francisco Giants baseball.
