The San Francisco Giants are nearing an agreement with former New York Yankees hitting coach James Rowson for a role on their coaching staff, potentially as major-league offensive coordinator. Rowson became a free agent after serving as the Yankees’ hitting coach and is being considered as the Giants seek a replacement for Hunter Mense, who joined the Kansas City Royals as an assistant hitting coach. Rowson has also coached with the Minnesota Twins, Detroit Tigers and Miami Marlins. The Giants announced another staff change, promoting longtime organizational coach Taira Uematsu to first-base coach, making him the first Japan-born coach to hold that role in MLB; Ron Washington and Gary Pettis are also returning to the staff.
