Is This the End of Logan White’s Tenure?

September 30, 2010 at 4:20 pm | Posted in Logan White | 12 Comments

Horrifying news just in, courtesy of BP’s Kevin Goldstein:

Some rumors starting to swirl about the #Dodgers and Logan White; or rather, Logan White and no longer with the #Dodgers.

There’s nothing more on this yet, but Goldstein has a ton of connections in the industry (earlier today, I wondered about Javier Vazquez, and within five minutes KG had checked with a big league exec.)

Obviously, it’s unfair to spectulate. But it sure is fun, so let’s do just that. There’s no obvious GM job, so perhaps he’s frustrated with the McCourts and is…

- Replacing Eddie Bane with the Angels?
- Going to Arizona (where he lives) to be Kevin Towers’ assistant GM?
- Or he thinks he’s got a great opportunity with the Mets, who are certainly going to replace Omar Minaya?

More as it comes in, but so far: not good.

Update: Baseball America’s Jim Callis chimes in:

Talking to Logan White right now: He has not been dismissed by the #Dodgers.

Planning on working for the team until he’s told otherwise. @thinkblue1194: What has Logan White said about his future with the Dodgers?

No. Logan White says he sincerely wants to keep working for the Dodgers. @MikeSciosciasTI: Is that code for “it’s his choice”?

Hey, that’s me!

He’ll probably take Ng with him.

We are so screwed.

He ends up in Anaheim would be my guess.

If the Mets get creative, he could be their GM, though I’m not sure he would be up to that challenge.

Not that it matters who the gm is so long as mcbroke owns the team.

Is there a point where news coming out of Dodgertown is going to be good again or are we just screwed for the entire off season?

- Dodgertown is no longer a place. It is a state of mind. A cheap, mendacious state of mind.

I hope Tim Hallgren and DeJon Watson are ready to take over the reins. I am going to love to hear how McCourt spins this. Then again, the clown hasn’t said word one about the Dodgers in nearly a year, why expect him to give a damn now.

It is becoming really hard to stand by this team when ownership is doing it’s level best to reduce my team to rubble, dollar by dollar.

- Jim Callis of BA is now saying he has spoken to White and that White has “not been dismissed.” I don’t know if that means its a nonstory, or if its White’s choice.

  - Hallelujah! Now, for my second wish for the day, the whole McCourt family turns up missing.

    - Hold on, reading comprehension is poor today. So, White could be gone but he wasn’t fired…… Geez, I think McCourt’s penchant for obfuscation is infecting the rest of the front office.

Side note:

As we have have learned those W-L records don’t mean anything. Ely’s 10 loses do not reflect his real abilities at all. This guys stinks and he better be on another team next year.

- I suspect that he’ll still be with the Dodgers next year. He’s under team control, and I’ll bet that counts for a lot in 2011. But honestly, for a 5th starter, he’s not all that bad. Sure, I’d love somebody better, but I just don’t see it happening.

- Because every good pitcher is good in every start they make and because we have SOOOOOO many Aces just waiting to be called up we can just throw Ely in the trash, makes perfect sense.
