Lots of action in the offices lately.
The Phillies GM search continues with old friend Pat Gillick getting an interview yesterday.
Arizona decided on a GM, choosing Josh Byrnes the current assistant GM of the Red Sox. Two other candidates, current GMs Kevin Towers and Jim Bowden, return to their current teams in the same positions. Bowden received an extention through the offseason.
Speaking of Boston, they still don't have a GM after Halloween as talks continue between Epstein and the Red Sox. I expect a deal to get done.
Two LA newspapers are reporting that Paul DePodesta will be fired this weekend. This would seem like an odd move given that the Dodgers season has been over for almost a month and Depodesta has been interviewing for the managerial postion.
In Jays news Alex Anthopoulos and Bart Given have been promoted to handle the duties of former assistant GM Tim McCleary. Anthopoulos currently is one of the team's scouting directors while Given is an assistant in baseball operations.
