The Worst Of All Possible Worlds
On the other hand, we have this Peter Gammons story indicating that Arizona wants to move the freshly-signed Troy Glaus. (AZ Snakepit gives a bit of confirmation, quoting the print edition of Baseball America as saying "The Diamondbacks, frustrated with third baseman Troy Glaus' work habits, will shop him this winter, only a year after they signed him.")
Now, if you were going to get somebody to make quality free agent signings, why keep Moorad as that guy, especially since he's already rueing his 2004/5 signings? And then, if you were going to get somebody to run your minors for you, wouldn't Kevin Towers be the worst possible guy to do it, simply because the Padres ranked 27th in Baseball America's latest system rating?
Does this not sound like a recipe for complete and utter disaster?

Kind of a "me first" decision.

-Chronicles
Having said that, given AZ's logjam (of its own making) at the infield and outfield corners, Glaus is the one "veteran" whom the Diamondbacks could probably hope to get something halfway decent in return (or at least wouldn't have to pay most of the salary of). Who would've thought Chad Tracy would start developing into a potential All-Star?
