UNC alum Bobby Evans named San Francisco Giants general manager
Posted Apr 4, 2015
Evans has been Sabean's top assistant the past several seasons and has worked with San Francisco in a variety of capacities since 1994. Now he'll be the team's top negotiator and point man in free agency while still answering to Sabean and Baer. "I'm not sure why they chose to do this in an odd year, but I'm trusting that it was well thought out," Evans said, joking about the Giants' pattern of winning titles in 2010, 2012 and 2014.
