Here’s why Yankees’ surprise Brian Sabean hire makes sense

The Yankees made a key front office addition on Tuesday when they welcomed back Brian Sabean, who worked for the team before winning three World Series titles at the helm of the Giants’ front office.

Sabean spent nearly 30 years in San Francisco as general manager, president of baseball operations, and later a scout. Before the Giants, he spent nearly a decade with the Yankees and was instrumental in drafting players like Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera.
