"The Rockies are hiring Paul DePodesta as their new front office leader, report Ken Rosenthal, Brittany Ghiroli and Zac Jackson of The Athletic. Thomas Harding of MLB.com first reported that DePodesta was a strong candidate, while ESPN's Jeff Passan noted shortly before The Athletic report that the sides were close to a deal."
"It's a stunning hire. DePodesta has worked with the NFL's Cleveland Browns for a decade. He has not been the general manager with the Browns. His relatively vague title has been chief strategy officer. DePodesta has worked under a few general managers in Cleveland - the past five of which have come under executive vice president and GM Andrew Berry. He has seemingly held a high-ranking scouting/player acquisition position without ever having the top spot in football operations."
The Colorado Rockies are hiring Paul DePodesta as their new front office leader. DePodesta spent a decade with the NFL's Cleveland Browns and held the title of chief strategy officer rather than general manager. He worked under multiple general managers in Cleveland, including executive vice president and GM Andrew Berry, and operated in a high-ranking scouting and player-acquisition capacity without ever holding the top football-operations position. The Browns reached the playoffs twice in the past eight years, finished 3-14 last season in last place in the AFC North, and currently sit 2-6 as they undergo another rebuild.
