Via MLB Trade Rumors, here’s a choice quote regarding the Padres’ front office situation:
Considering the current state of the Padres, it’s an easy guess
that whomever CEO Jeff Moorad selects as the new GM will be lauding
Towers’ efforts for years to come . . . the Padres’ new GM will
walk into one of the most promising setups in baseball. The Padres have only $12 million in guaranteed money
committed for 2010 after Towers unloaded Jake Peavy’s $56 million
contract. The pitching staff was completely overhauled through the
trades of Peavy and Scott Hairston and several other minor
deals. The 40-man roster is loaded with affordable, controllable
talent.
Wow, that is great. So can someone please explain to me why the architect of that got fired again?
