Now CSNBayArea is reporting a source says Trent Baalke is Jed York’s new GM. I don’t know if this report is accurate. But if it is, Jed lied to us on Monday when he said he would make a comprehensive search for a GM. It’s not a comprehensive search if you know the guy before you start searching. I hope none of this is true. I don’t like to think of Jed as a liar.

Baalke may turn out terrific — if he’s the one. But I’ll leave you with this thought. If you look at this in political terms, he may be part of the problem and not part of the solution. He’s been around a long time and look how the Niners have done.
