Updating The Padres’ GM Search

By Jeff Todd | July 17, 2014 at 2:58pm CDT

The Padres, you may recall, are still in the market for a new GM after parting ways with Josh Byrnes. With so many names being tossed around — all amid the latest trade deadline rumors — it can be difficult to keep track of things. Now that the club is beginning to select second-round interview candidates, it seems worthwhile to round up the candidates and see where things stand.

The club is expected to sit down with about a dozen people before narrowing it further and ultimately installing a new GM in August. We’ll keep track of the candidates here by splitting them into categories below, and we’ll post the latest news updates here at the top of this post…

News updates

  • San Diego may be interested in hiring former GM Kevin Towers to a senior advisor position if Towers is fired by the D’backs, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (via Twitter). The report appears to imply that Towers would not be in consideration for the actual GM post, which the club is expected to fill in relatively short order anyway.
  • The Padres have informed Larry Beinfest that he is out of the running, as their preference is to hire an up-and-coming GM, tweets Scott Miller of FOX Sports San Diego and MLB Network Radio.

Still in the running

  • Rangers assistant GM A.J. Preller (also the first candidate who is reported to have been selected for a second interview)
  • Padres assistant GM Josh Stein
  • MLB senior VP of baseball operations Kim Ng
  • Diamondbacks director of scouting Ray Montgomery
  • Yankees assistant GM Billy Eppler
  • Red Sox assistant GM Mike Hazen

Interviewed, but no longer a candidate

  • Dodgers VP of amateur scouting Logan White, per Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (via Twitter).
  • Former Marlins president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest, per Scott Miller of FOX Sports San Diego and MLB Network Radio (Twitter link).

Declined the opportunity to interview

  • Padres assistant GM A.J. Hinch
  • Padres senior VP of baseball operations Omar Minaya
  • Cardinals assistant GM Mike Girsch
  • Cubs senior VP Jason McLeod
  • Athletics assistant GM David Forst
  • Indians assistant GM Mike Chernoff

    Beinfest, maybe White, would’ve been my first choice. What I don’t understand, is why they even intereviewed him in the first place if they were looking for an up-and-comer. I guess I don’t really care, as long as the new guy fixes the team.

      They are going through the motions
      and apparently want a young GM that they can control
      so they can meddle in personnel decisions….
      Not a good sign for those Padres fans out there.

      They last 2 GM hires have been “young up and comers”
      and neither one lasted: One bailed out when he saw
      the writing on the wall, the other was just fired after only a couple
      of years and not enough time to remake the Padres ballclub.

      Whoever takes the Padres job should rent, not buy…
