Filed under: Cubs, Padres, White Sox, NL WestKevin Towers is in Phoenix on Tuesday to meet with the Arizona Diamondbacks, who plan to hire a general manager this week.
Towers, who was GM of the San Diego Padres for 14 seasons, also interviewed with the club last week. The Padres won four playoff berths and an NL pennant in his tenure. Towers also acquired several players who helped to put the Padres 25 games ahead of last-place Arizona this year.
Diamondbacks interim GM Jerry DiPoto is also a finalist. Club owner Ken Kendrick and president Derrick Hall moved DiPoto into the position three months ago, and he freed nearly $40 million with two trades. "Jerry is professional and decisive," said Angels GM Tony Reagins, who negotiated the Dan Haren trade with DiPoto in July. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
