NEW YORK — Some much-needed World Series acumen is heading to Yankee Stadium.
While the Yankees didn’t acquire any big name players on Tuesday, they did introduce one of the most decorated executives in Major League Baseball history. Brian Sabean, the general manager who oversaw the San Francisco Giants’ three-championship run in the 2010s, is the Yankees’ new executive advisor to general manager Brian Cashman.
“It’s a little bit emotional and overwhelming,” said Sabean, who worked in the Yankees’ scouting department from 1985 to 1992. “It’s somewhat of a strange twist of fate, after 30 years, to rejoin the organization that I started in. A lot of memories are flashing back.”
