Longtime Oakland manager Bob Melvin has rejoined the Athletics as a special assistant in baseball operations.

Melvin, 64, 'will serve as an adviser to the front office on baseball matters,' the team announced on Thursday.

Melvin managed the Oakland A's from 2011-21, reaching the playoffs six times and winning two American League Manager of the Year awards (2012, 2018).

He compiled a record of 1,678-1,588 in 22 seasons as a skipper with the Seattle Mariners (2003-04), Arizona Diamondbacks (2005-09), Athletics, San Diego Padres (2022-23) and San Francisco Giants (2024-25).

The Giants fired Melvin following an 81-81 finish last season.

Melvin also earned National League Manager of the Year honors with the Diamondbacks in 2007. None of his teams reached the World Series.
