John Shea of the Chronicle just posted an exclusive with Brian Sabean at his future in baseball. The former GM and current team Executive Vice President is in the final week of his most recent contract with the team. After 27 years with the organization and so many running jokes involving his oftentimes brusque personality, it seemed like a given that he’d be moving on at season’s end to give way to the new front office. Not so!
“I’m quite sure my Giant career will continue in some form or fashion.”
No new deal seems imminent, with Sabean even giving a timeline of a month to see if the matter comes to a satisfying conclusion, but the shocker here is that the Giants want him back just as much as he wants to stay.
