Sabean, Bochy get 2 more years with Giants
ByAs expected, the San Francisco Chronicle reports that General Manager Brian Sabean and Manager Bruce Bochy received 2 year contracts with the San Francisco Giants with a team option for a 3rd year. Although the terms have not been disclosed, it is rumored that Bochy received a raise from the reported $2.5 million he earned in 2009.
There were rumors that Tony Larussa may have been a candidate for the Giant’s managerial job since he is a Bay Area native. However, the 2009 Giant’s success was probably the deciding factor in keeping the Sabean and Bochy duo for another 2 years.
