SAN FRANCISCO — Brandon Crawford, one of the few Giants veterans on hand Monday night, lamented the firing of general manager Bobby Evans as a casualty of the team’s sub-par performance the past two seasons.
“Obviously something like that is part of the business side of baseball, but it kind of sucks that somebody like Bobby or somebody kind of behind he scenes like (strength coach) Carl (Kochan) loses their job because we didn’t perform as players on the field. Something like that’s always tough.”
Evans, in his 25th season with the franchise, was relieved of his duties and is scheduled to be reassigned within the organization.
