Twins Video

Do what it takes to sign this guy....right now..DO NOT LET RYAN et al participate in the draft!

 

Candidate: Jason McLeod

Current role: Senior Vice President, Player Development and Amateur Scouting (Cubs)

Skill set: During his tenure with the Cubs, McLeod has played a major role in turning over an organization that was thin on minor-league talent, augmenting the infield talent that was present before his tenure with Kris Bryant and Albert Almora. He also has a keen eye for what can be considered undervalued pitching, as the Cubs have enjoyed pitching success by acquiring "project" arms whose value has increased with the club—most recently Jake Arrieta and Jason Hammel. His resume shows that he has an eye for talent and would be a good fit for a larger role in any front office.

I would guess that all through the Cubs organization they are feeling pretty optimistic about breaking the curse. They are all going to want to be there for that.

 

But hey, that's the first real name I've heard that might really be a good choice.

I looked for instances when teams changed GMs in season. I did not see an example of a team hiring away a key member of another team's front office during the season. Most recently the Tigers fired Dombrowski last August but stayed in house to replace him with Avila.
