EMERGENCY POD: Paul DePodesta goes from NFL’s Cleveland Browns to head of baseball ops for MLB’s Colorado Rockies
Description
The search is over for the Colorado Rockies head of baseball operations. Paul DePodesta, chief strategy office of the NFL’s Cleveland Browns, is coming to Denver for his first GM role since captaining the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2004-05. How successful was he with the Browns? What was his baseball experience before his decade-long tenure in Cleveland?
DePodesta is best known for his work with the Oakland Athletics during their great Moneyball movement, a period that sparked a best-seller by Michael Lewis and a film starring Brad Pitt. Who played Colorado’s new leader in the movie? And could his outside-the-box thinking spark a revolution for the Rockies?
Plus, Colorado claims a pitcher from the Tampa Bay Rays, Thairo Estrada leaves as a free agent and Hunter Goodman claims the first NL Silver Slugger Award for a catcher in franchise history.
