When the news broke that Brian Sabean was leaving the Giants’ GM position to walk around the earth, like Caine from Kung Fu, and get back to his scouting roots, it’s possible that I didn’t make enough about it. I figured since Bobby Evans was in the front office with Sabean for all those years, that the front office was going to retain the same hive mind from the championship years, just in a different permutation. Nothing had really changed except for a few key assignments, no big deal.
The ownership group of the Giants didn’t see it that way, however.
