Former A’s manager Bob Melvin is getting used to new colors, a new league and different ways of doing things with the San Diego Padres.
Bob Melvin looks out of place in the brown and yellow colors of the San Diego Padres. He conceded he feels a little out of place too.
“It’s my job to acclimate to everybody here and the organization,” Melvin said before Monday night’s 4-2 win over the Giants at Oracle Park. “It’s done a little bit differently and you have to learn how things are done here. You have to learn your players. Obviously, I haven’t been around them a ton . . . colors are different, everything’s different. I haven’t even been to San Diego yet.
In the meantime, Melvin couldn’t help but sneak a peek at the A’s under Mark Kotsay, a coach under Melvin from 2016 through last season who has the full support of his former boss. The two traded texts after Kotsay got his first win Sunday against Tampa Bay after a season-opening sweep at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies.
Melvin hired Ryan Christenson, who worked under him with the A’s, as his bench coach, as well as Matt Williams, who also worked with the A’s. The Padres also traded for left-handed starter Sean Manaea, who counts Melvin as the only manager he has ever played for since being called up in 2016.
