SAN FRANCISCO — Three years after departing for what he thought would be a better fit, Pablo Sandoval has returned.  The third baseman, a key cog in the dynasty the Giants built earlier this decade, re-signed with the organization on a minor league deal on Saturday morning.

Inside, a replica throne was waiting for Thursday’s “Game of Thrones” night, and it was waiting for a victorious manager.  That set up a potentially awkward situation. Bruce Bochy has done so many morose press conferences this season, but Buster Posey made sure his manager didn’t have to sit on a throne and discuss another loss.
