Rosenthal On Darvish, Towers, Pirates, Brewers

By Zachary Links | September 18, 2010 at 4:19pm CDT

Let's check out what Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports has for us in his latest edition of Full Count..

  • A source tells Rosenthal that Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish is highly likely to be posted this offseason.  The Yankees, unsurprisingly, are keeping close watch on the righthander.  One scout says that he doesn't see the 24-year-old as being much more than a No. 3 starter.  The ball in Japan is smaller, starters only work once a week, and as we've seen the transition for those starters can be very problematic.
  • If Kevin Towers becomes GM of the Diamondbacks, it could wind up haunting not only his former employers, the Padres, but also the Dodgers.  When Dennis Gilbert tried to buy the Rangers he was ready to name Towers as his GM and now Gilbert could be a buyer for the Dodgers if they are sold.  Towers, however, isn't going to wait around for the dust to settle in Los Angeles.  If he does become the D'Backs GM, the guy he would replace, interim GM Jerry Dipoto, could become a candidate for the Mets.
  • Pirates president Frank Coonelly has said that the club's losing is unacceptable and rival execs expect the team to make changes.  Both GM Neal Huntington and manager John Russell are under contract through next season but the team has offered no assurances that either man will return next season.  Russell appears to be in greater danger of getting the axe than Huntington as the GM was tabbed by Coonelly.
  • Brewers manager Ken Macha is "almost certain" to be fired and his coaches are also uncertain to return.  That includes bench coach Willie Randolph who was once seen as the heir apparent to Macha's position and could include pitching coach Rick Peterson, who has a year remaining on his deal.

    So potentially, half of MLB teams could have managerial openings after the season. Wow.

    Hmm lets see.

    Mets, Braves, Marlins, Cubs, Brewers, Cardinals, Pirates, Diamondbacks, Blue Jays, Yankees (if Girardi leaves), Mariners.

    I also have 11/30. My bad. But we never know what else could happen.

      You’re missing the Dodgers from his list and he’s missing the Mariners

        Reds could be too if Dusty does not re-sign on.

    Don Mattingly will manage the Dodgers next season. He has already agreed to a 3 year deal.

    The Pirates need a smart agressive baseball colonel to be their manager. John Russell acts like a dead man walking and i think thats reason why they’ve gone into long losing streaks this year. The players just aren’t thrilled to be around him.

    I saw another website that wasn’t that high on Darvish. They didn’t think he had much upside for the majors.
