Good morning! Before you panic, it’s not 2002, you haven’t traveled backwards in time for some reason. Bob Nightengale has reported some news:
He’ll be special adviser to Larry Baer and report to Brian Sabean as well. The article notes that Dusty Baker lives in Sacramento and his son plays for Cal, so, this would seem to be a good fit for both parties. When you consider how the relationship ended on a sour note and how baseball men tend to hold grudges, it’s kinda nice to see this all happening.
Can’t help but feel there’s a dash of PR in all this, too.
