When the Yankees announce their World Series roster, Brian Sabean’s fingerprints will be on it.
General manager Brian Cashman on Wednesday called Sabean his “consigliere” and said he still leans on the person he began working with in The Bronx nearly four decades ago — including during a conversation the two had on Tuesday about the construction of the roster the Yankees are putting together. For Sabean, 68, it’s been a long road back to the organization where he started his career in professional baseball in 1985 as a scout.
But not long before that group started winning World Series titles, Sabean was part of a group that ended up leaving, as Cashman said, due to the “volatility” of the organization under George Steinbrenner’s stewardship. General manager Brian Sabean and manager Bruce Bochy of the San Francisco Giants hold up the Warren C. Giles Trophy after the Giants won the 2014 NL pennant.Sabean went on to engineer three World Series titles as GM of the Giants before leaving following the 2022 season.
“He’s one of the great baseball men of our generation,’’ Cashman said. “I always felt sorrow that he did not get the credit he so richly deserved for what transpired in that championship run. I brought him back because he’s been through the wars, he knows everything about amateur scouting, player development and building world championship teams. And I also wanted him back where he belongs.
As he said it, Sabean was leaning on the railing of the home dugout at Yankee Stadium during the team’s workout Tuesday, so it’s safe to say he’ll have a better view this time around.
