Sabean and Alou to Remain With Giants
One day after announcing his acquisition of the storied San Francisco Giants franchise, new owner Jake Scott made news by doing... absolutely nothing. In a press conference, Scott stated that he will keep both General Manager Brian Sabean and club manager Felipe Alou in their previous positions. "Sabean is still GM, though not quite to the extent he was before. He'll continue to sniff out trades and give advice, but everything will go through me, especially free agency once the off-season rolls around. We wouldn't want to end up with a 35 year old catcher with no stick or something ridiculous like that." On Alou, "I love Felipe, the players love Felipe, nothing will change with Felipe. He'll be out there every day, pulling twice as many pitchers as usual, just like you saw last season."
No announcement has been made regarding the 49er football team, though it is expected to come before football season begins.
