McClatchy OUT

Is this news? Hard to say. If Bob Nutting hires a real baseball man as the next CEO, it would be hard to say that it's a bad move for the team. One would assume that a real baseball man as CEO would not be pleased with Dave Littlefield as the GM. If Bob Nutting hires, say, himself or his brother or some kind of business or newspaper man as the next CEO, well, things won't get better.

I already posted a take on it at the Fanhouse, so you can check that out as well. As I noted there, many will certainly claim that the protest was a success because of this. I think this is probably a move that's been in the works for a long time, like, since Nutting became the official owner back in January (which is what McClatchy says). I suppose we'll learn more about this as time goes on.
