    Yes, De Podesta was the former Dodgers GM but he was also in the Oakland A's organization with Sandy Alderson.

    "DePodesta will report to CEO Sandy Alderson and will work closely with all members of the Baseball Operations Department, including Executive Vice President/General Manager Kevin Towers. DePodesta is scheduled to join the Padres on July 13"

    That's why I said HMMMMMM to this move

    He was with the Dodgers during an ownership change.....the owner had financial issues at the time also....could have led to a messy relationship....

    to be fair, I still said at the time of his firing that he was let go too early.

    They really didn't give him much of a chance.

    I mainly critisized him for the LoDuca/Penny trade...but Penny seems to be doing good for them, so perhaps that wasn't so bad.

    Dan Evans was the GM during the ownership change. McCourt handpicked DePodesta to replace Evans and avoid philosophical differences. I still believe McCourt shot himself on the foot by letting DePo go after two years. The decision led to another roster overhaul by current GM Colletti.
