- The Giants have formally interviewed assistant coach Alyssa Nakken for their managerial opening, the club confirmed on Sunday.
- Nakken, 33, is believed to be the first woman to interview for a managerial position in the majors, adding to her trailblazing legacy with the Giants.
- A former standout softball player at Sacramento State, Nakken became the first full-time woman coach in the majors when she was added to Gabe Kapler’s staff in January 2020. She made even more history with her on-field coaching debut in April of ’22, when she filled in for first-base coach Antoan Richardson during a game against the Padres.
