Brian Sabean didn't learn about Melky Cabrera's positive testosterone test until Wednesday morning.

Sabean was asked on Thursday if he had any anger about the situation.

"Not at all," said Sabean. "If anything, I was so taken back it was deflating. I was actually in the meeting when Bruce (Bochy) talked to the players and I kind of got emotional because I didn’t see this coming. We’ve all been around the game a long time. We’re used to making changes and adjustments, as we do in life. This is one of those things where you’re punched in the stomach, but you no choice and you’ve got to move on.”

The positive test had nothing to do with the Giants ending extension talks in mid-July.

"It was a conceptual conversation and it never really went anywhere They pushed for doing something at the end of the year. I don’t know the timing of that against the question."
