I think Bochy would eventually love to retire as a part of the Giants, in whatever capacity.

For decades managers have claimed they look forward to spending more time with their families.

Families soon say “I wish you’d get a job. We’re sick of you hanging around being crabby with us.”

Then the first good job offer and it’s “So long, I am outta here.”

When Sparky Anderson was let go from the Cincinnati Reds after bring them a World Series victory in 1975 and 1976, he said the next year “I learned that the great game of baseball kept going and got along just fine without me. Really fine.”

Got the job with the Detroit Tigers and won the World Series in 1984. First time anyone managed a team in both leagues for a championship.
