It’s always an awkward situation when another team tries to interview your current General Manager. According to Ken Rosenthal, that happened with the San Francisco Giants and Brewers GM David Stearns.
#SFGiants asked to speak to #Brewers GM David Stearns about becoming their president of baseball operations, but Milwaukee owner Mark Attanasio denied permission, sources tell The Athletic. Stearns has at least one year left on his deal, sources say.

It comes as no surprise that Attanasio would deny permission to the Giants as he clearly loves his GM and doesn’t want to lose him.
