Padres exec Paul DePodesta doesn’t have any interest in the upcoming Moneyball movie. I hadn’t realized that DePo appeared in a few episodes of the excellent "Homicide: Life On The Street" TV show back in the day.
Padres GM Kevin Towers is a longtime friend of new Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik. Perhaps the Padres and Brewers will be frequent trade partners for Zduriencik.

According to a press release, the Mariners hired Jack Zduriencik (formerly of the Brewers) as their new GM and executive VP. Zduriencik is credited for the Brewers’ run of successful draft picks. Geoff Baker provides his take on the decision at his Seattle Times blog.
