Bobby Evans, who played a significant behind-the-scenes role in building three World Series championship teams before the Giants promoted him to general manager in 2015, was fired from that job Monday with a week left in a second consecutive losing season.
Former general manager and now executive vice president Brian Sabean will keep his job and help Giants President and Chief Executive Officer Larry Baer find Evans' replacement from outside the organization.
Baer said the new hire will "have the authority to run baseball operations," while Sabean "will remain a valuable resource to all of us."
