Sabean to Return?

Rumors involving Brian Sabean went from fired to hired very quickly:

Contrary to rumors that the Giants are preparing to fire Brian Sabean, ownership has decided it wants Sabean back next year for a 12th season as general manager, and the two sides have begun discussions about a contract extension, The Chronicle has learned.

Managing general partner Peter Magowan said in spring training that Sabean's fate would be decided after the season, suggesting the team's performance in 2007 would decide his fate. Even though the Giants are in last place in the National League West with a 38-48 record, Magowan apparently has had a change of heart and wants to make an effort to lock up Sabean sooner rather than later.

The reasons are unclear, and nobody involved in the discussions would comment Tuesday.

Isn't this pretty much how the Bonds resigning played out?

Hat tip, Maury Brown.
