According to a report published by The Athletic earlier today, Posey and the Giants are 'closing in' on hiring Tennessee Volunteers' head coach Tony Vitello as the next manager of the club. Vitello, 47, has never coached in professional baseball but brings a sterling résumé from the collegiate ranks.

Tennessee Vols baseball coach Tony Vitello is reportedly considering an offer from the San Francisco Giants to become the franchise's next manager. Vitello was at Tennessee's practice on Sunday afternoon according to the Knoxville News Sentinel's Mike Wilson.

Giants top managerial candidate might have done the most confident thing trying to prove he is the right guy for the job.

The Braves inability to go after one of the hottest names on the market makes it clear what direction they are going in.
