The San Francisco Giants have officially extended the contracts of manager Bruce Bochy and general manager Brian Sabean through the 2016 season.

From the final out of the 2012 season, the extensions were considered a foregone conclusion.

"The glory days of the franchise are now," president and CEO Larry Baer said. "It's important to acknowledge that and pay tribute to the people who have done it from the general manager's office and the manager's office to get us to where we are now. It's hard to measure -- when you take the entire longevity of the franchise, 131 years -- you probably haven't had a better stretch, no matter how you want to measure it, the last three or four years."
