Rambling Notes: Craig Counsell Spoke with David Ross, AJ Preller Hasn’t Heard from Jed Hoyer, Matt Mervis in Limbo

It’s a fairly slow day as far as news and rumors go, so I figured I’d slap together a few notes that don’t merit articles in and of themselves. Apologies to those folks out there who think we should only put something out there when something concrete happens.

Bruce Levine tweeted Friday afternoon that Craig Counsell and David Ross “have had a long conversation,” which is pretty cool and also somewhat unexpected. I have to assume Counsell was the one to reach out, seeing as how he ousted Ross by accepting Jed Hoyer’s offer when Ross was still employed.
