And The Saga Continues


Cubs' fans are still being held hostage by what happens in LA with the Dodgers. Well, it gets more and more interesting

The theory coursing through baseball circles is (Dodger owner Frank) McCourt will have final say on the manager, then make a decision on his general manager, perhaps making a change if what he perceives as a more attractive candidate — Brian Cashman, Theo Epstein, Mark Newman, Jim Bowden, Kevin Towers — is still available.

If DePodesta leaves, Dusty to LA becomes more plausible. A DePodesta exist may also explian the delay in hiring a new maanger -- it was supposed to be over already.

But check this buried line in the article.

But little in the McCourt occupancy of the Dodgers suggests rationality, particularly in the realm of the public relations department, where employee turnover has reached a Steinbrenner-like pace and attracted the attention of the highest offices in baseball. People in the commissioner's office are starting to ask questions.

What the hell is grabbing Selig's attention?

:::UPDATE:::
It's hurry up and wait in Dodger town.

It has been eight days since General Manager Paul DePodesta said he would include former Dodger players in expanding the list of candidates from the original five interviewed, who also include San Francisco bench coach Ron Wotus, fired Detroit manager Alan Trammell and Cleveland minor league manager Torey Lovullo.

Turns out only former Dodger pitching great Orel Hershiser was given an interview, although DePodesta said several other candidates were "talked to or about." Hershiser flew home to Dallas on Sunday after attending a college football game Saturday and does not expect to be interviewed until at least Tuesday.
