Baseball lost one of their better minds today when Paul DePodesta switched sports:
Paul DePodesta appears to love a good challenge: After five years in charge of player development for the recently moribund and possibly penniless New York Mets, the 43-year-old former Harvard baseball and football player has left baseball to take over the Cleveland Browns.
DePodesta did not work out as the general manager of the Dodgers due to constant attacks by the LA media. DePodesta, wasn’t really interested in what the media had to say about him, he just did his job well and set the stage for the Dodgers success of recent years. I wonder how much this move has to do with not getting another chance to be the top man in baseball.
I’m going to be very interested in Cleveland going into the 2018 season.
Meanwhile, Alex Anthopoulos is headed to Los Angeles to join the Dodgers:
Alex Anthopoulos appears to have found a new landing spot after a report surfaced Tuesday afternoon that the former Blue Jays general manager has accepted a front-office position with the Dodgers.
The news was first reported by Vince Cauchon of Radio X et Rock in Quebec; the Dodgers have not confirmed the report. The exact nature of Anthopoulos’ new position was not immediately clear, but the native of Montreal previously stated that he was exploring several opportunities and hoped to land a new job in the New Year.
He should fit in well with that organization. And he’ll be warm all year!
