Giants to bring back Dusty Baker as special advisor
SF is expected to bring back former manager Dusty Baker as a special advisor to CEO Larry Baer, per Bob
Nightengale of USA Today. Baker will report to executive VP Brian Sabean in his new role.
The 68-yr-old Baker will return to work in his home state of California,where he has since enjoyed an accomplished
career as a manager, and a large portion of his success as a skipper came during his San Francisco tenure.
Baker was atop the Giants’ dugout from 1993-2002, a decade long span. Baker’s last season at the helm, the Giants
took home the NL pennant before falling to the Angels in a seven-game World Series.
