Ron Wotus has been on the Giants coaching staff since 1998, so calling the city of San Francisco home is an understatement.
The team's third-base coach was brought back to the staff and will stay in his current role under new manager Gabe Kapler. He talked to NBC Sports Bay Area's Kelli Johnson and Pat Burrell following Kapler's introductory press conference and said he'd received other offers before accepting with the Giants.
"The Cubs reached out to me for a bench coach position earlier in the process, then the Mets -- I went and interviewed with them," Wotus said in the interview.

"This is where I want to be," Wotus added.
