One of the organization's most popular managers, Dusty Baker, is rejoining the San Francisco Giants nearly 16 years after his difficult departure.
The 68-year-old Baker, who was fired as skipper of the Washington Nationals after last season, will serve as a special adviser to CEO Larry Baer working in both the baseball and business operations of the club.
"We are thrilled to welcome Dusty back to the organization," Baer said. "In addition to being one of the most beloved Giants alumni, Dusty brings a wealth of expertise, knowledge and experience to this position and I know his contributions will be felt far and wide throughout our organization.
