Tony Vitello's job security in question

Speculation is growing that manager Tony Vitello could be fired by the end of 2026 after the team's disastrous season. A recent article listed Vitello among four Giants likely to be gone. However, a Kawakami column confirms Buster Posey is sticking with Vitello for 2027, tying their fates together. The front office is committed to the long game. Baer's recent public backing of Posey and Vitello for 2027 reinforces organizational patience.
