Maiocco provided a memo issued by 49ers CEO Jed York to the team's staff Friday explaining the move with Paraag Marathe:
By now I am sure most of you have seen reports of some transition in our front office, and I apologize that we were unable to communicate with you directly prior to certain information reaching the media. Our original intent was to formalize the transition following the Super Bowl.
As many of you may have seen in recent months, Paraag and Al’s roles within the organization have been evolving.
In addition to his longstanding responsibilities in football operations as the team’s chief contract negotiator and head of our analytics department, Paraag has chosen to take a leadership role in the organization’s new ventures efforts. As you know, Paraag has been the lead in our partnership with the Sacramento Republic FC soccer team and was instrumental in developing and launching VenueNext. We anticipate great things to come from our new ventures wing as it continues to grow.
With Paraag focusing so much time and energy on new business opportunities, Al has taken the lead on the day-to-day business operations of the team and Levi’s® Stadium.
Despite how some have chosen to portray this transition in the media, I want you to know that Paraag has been and will continue to be an instrumental member of this organization. Without his contributions over the last 15 years, the successes achieved by this organization would not have been possible.

Live look at the 49ers front office...
I hate Jed York so much that I'm starting to like him! Not like him personally as a human being or like him as the owner of the 49ers, but I'm starting to like how impossible his riddle is to solve. You NEVER know what this guy will do next! Niner news can really knock the questions out of you that's for sure!
It's rather hilarious that the Bay Area media is so ready to pounce on anything York does that he has to send an official Memo out to all of his employees telling them the "truth" before people get the wrong ideas. It's almost like people can't trust him or something based on the past. Why are you so quick to defend your actions here, Jed? Especially if people knew this was going to happen eventually? I guess when people stomp all over your only form of communication with the public (Twitter), you get a little defensive when the media has a hold of some juicy deets before they were supposed to.
Anyway, Happy Friday! Time to get the hell out of here for the weekend!
