Padres Would Not Allow Mariners To Interview Towers
XX Sports Radio recently interviewed Padres CEO Sandy Alderson. The hosts asked whether the Padres would give the Mariners permission to interview Kevin Towers for their GM vacancy. Alderson stressed that the Mariners have not asked and he doesn't expect them to. He added that if they did ask, the Padres would not grant permission.
Towers is signed through 2010, but Jayson Stark recently heard rumblings that he "might be willing to listen to inquiries from a place like Seattle" because he's lost clout. Sounds like a moot point, given Alderson's comments.

I see Towers as a top GM, I don't blame them

This stance from Alderson is drastically different from his with regards to Bruce Bochy a couple of years ago. Alderson was all about letting Bochy interview with San Francisco and explore the available job market as part of a policy to really let employees see if the grass is greener somewhere else. I guess the difference is, Towers is actually important to the Padres.

but dont forget a few years ago we let towers interview with the dbacks... so why the change of heart now, even with depodesta in the management system?
