Rockies to hire Browns’ Paul DePodesta as head of baseball operations: Sources

We hired Jonah Hill from Moneyball?
Did they actually make a smart move for once?!
> The Browns are 56-99-1 since bringing on DePodesta, who was hired in Jan. 2016 with the franchise arguably in worse shape than it is now.
How is he at doing laundry?
Browns’? Like one of the worst American football franchises Cleveland browns?
#LMFAOOOOO
What in the actual fuck
Someone tell me how to feel about this. We brought someone in outside the organization!… a football guy… from one of the most dysfunctional organizations in North American sports. So, yeah
Padres fan here: I hope at least it’s fun? It can’t be worse than it currently is, right?
Hope the best for you guys, I remember when the Padres weren’t competing and it’s pretty sad, no fan deserves that (except dodgers, they’ve won enough).
I can’t tell if I’m incredibly happy about this or incredibly upset that this isn’t 20 years ago…
Who is the MLB equivalent of Deshaun Watson, and when can we expect them to sign with the Rox?
This reads like someone in his circle told Monfort to hire a forward-thinking, analytical guy and Dick just googled “baseball sabermetrics people,” and in the end chose DePodesta because he’s the first result
Lol. This is Dick being like “oh you don’t want a Montfort? Fine, I’ll pick someone even worse” just out of pure spite for the fans
Wow
I suggested this 36 days ago ⭐️
Huh
Well it’s certainly someone from outside the organization
In 2025?
I wonder if this is why Forman and Sawdaye turned the Rockies down. Monfort wanted to bring in moneyball guy and Forman and Sawdaye weren’t interested.
he brought the dodgers from 93-63 in 2004 to 71-91 in 2005 during his two years as gm of the dodgers, their only losing season of the 21st century. great hire /s
Im confused as to whether we are still also searching for a GM or if this is it
Hopefully this brings a real analytics department to the team!
So a horrific Browns stint that outdid a prior horrific Dodgers GM stint. Nice Rockies, nice. 2026 going to be real ugly
I like it. At least we’re trying something fucking different
Obviously there’s no way to judge a gm before they do anything, but at least this guys knows stuff about baseball. It could’ve been worse.
