Frank McCourt: As Classy As David Glass
Those complaining about my anti-Dodger bias will have yet another log to toss on the fire after I run this one: thanks to Lookout Landing for pointing out this Kansas City Star article about Royals owner David Glass's search for a new GM. Relevant quote:
Well, no kidding. You know, I thought making Dan Evans interview for his own job was pathetic at the time. Last year, Jon Weisman fretted because he made a comparison — faint as it was — between the Dodgers and the Royals based on the McCourts' tendency to fire everyone at the first sign of trouble. Well, we now have one more way in which the Royals' and Dodgers' ownership are similar.The Royals have offered the job of general manager to Braves assistant Dayton Moore but are ready to move on to other candidates if the two sides can't reach agreement by this weekend.And who are the other options who might not be so picky about having full control over personnel decisions?The only major hang-up to an agreement, multiple sources have told The Star, is Moore's demand that he receive written assurance of complete control over personnel matters from club owner David Glass.
If that proves to be a deal-breaker, the Royals appear ready to move into negotiations with former Phillies general manager Ed Wade and/or former Tigers and Padres general manager Randy Smith.First of all, how ludicrous is it to openly conduct GM interviews while you've got a sitting GM? Baird has been a bad GM and Glass has previously indicated he was ready to axe Baird. But come on - interviewing other guys while you've got Baird twisting in the wind? Why don't you cut off his nuts while you're at it, David?
