Front Office Changes At Chavez Ravine

Ken Rosenthal writes about front-office changes in the Dodgers organization:
Senior scouting advisor Don Welke, special assistant to the general manager Jeff Schugel and senior advisor of baseball operations John Boles will not be retained. Director of professional scouting Matt Slater has been offered another position within the organization. Several other executives, most notably scouting director Logan White, are expected back.

The changes are not surprising; DePodesta was expected to streamline the Dodgers' operation, and apparently wants to hire people he is more comfortable with. DePodesta also takes a less traditional view of scouting than the Dodgers' previous regimes, preferring to rely more on objective than subjective analysis. When he declined to consult several of his top scouts before making a series of major trades at the July 31 non-waiver deadline, the shift in direction was evident.
