Roberts gave the spot instead to Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker. Bochy, who is leaving the San Francisco Giants after this season, has managed four All-Star Games.
San Francisco Giants' manager Bruce Bochy has turned down a chance to coach in the upcoming All-Star Game at Cleveland on July 9. San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy declined a chance to join his friend Dave Roberts as a coach on the National League staff in the upcoming July 9 All-Star Game at Progressive Field in Cleveland.
The decision seems quizzical considering that Bochy barely has four months to go in his last season managing the Giants. He has managed for almost 25 seasons, the last 13 with the Giants after 12 at the helm of the San Diego Padres."I've had my time," he told Boomskie on Baseball after the game."I was honored and as I told him, I really appreciated him calling me, asking me to go. I never thought I'd decline. I did it respectfully.
Snitker, a minor-league lifer until he took over as Braves manager in 2016, has never been to the All-Star Game. “Just for him to partake in the festivities, I thought it was a very good choice for our staff. I want to spend some time with him.”
