Neither was manager Bud Black.“I think we know each other, right?” Black told reporters before Friday night’s game in San Francisco. “We know German and German knows this organization. He feels a strong loyalty, and I think it speaks volumes that German wants to be part of this moving forward.“He wants to be part of the solution for us to turn it around and get to where we want to be.”Marquez and Black have a very special relationship and I’m certain that played a role in Marquez’s decision.But the contract’s $20 million price tag, with a chance for millio...
