The Giants extended the contracts of GM Brian Sabean and manager Bruce Bochy through the 2016 season Thursday night, bringing stability to a franchise that has counted on continuity during its recent success of winning the World Series twice in the last three years.

Both had previous deals set to expire after this summer.

The Mets officially named David Wright the fourth captain in franchise history Thursday, joining Keith Hernandez (1987-89), Gary Carter (1988-89) and Joh Franco (2001-04).

Manager Terry Collins also announced Jonathan Niese as his Opening Day starter, another acknowledgment that Johan Santana will open the season on the DL, according to an ESPN.com report.
