WASHINGTON -- The Padres will begin their search for a new team president immediately, but there is no conclusive timetable for a potential hire, according to sources with the team.
The process to replace Mike Dee could run throughout the offseason, with one source saying the Padres are "not in a big hurry" and that they'll take all the time they need to make sure they have the right candidate.
On Wednesday, the Padres parted ways with Dee, who had served as President and CEO in San Diego for just over three years. It's unclear if the role the club is looking to fill will differ from the one held by Dee, but the Padres will use his departure as a chance to re-evaluate the specifics of the position.
