Analysis: Roster decisions face Preller, new Padres manager
(Alex Gallardo/AP) Padres General Manager A.J. Preller speaks to the media shortly after manager Andy Green was fired Saturday.Padres have both too many players and not enough players as they look to build roster for whoever is hired as new manager
The Padres’ build is about to get a new project manager.
A.J. Preller, the architect, says it is a “crucial” hire.
Getting it done will consume much of his time, as well that of his bosses, over the next week or five.
Bruce Bochy, Joe Maddon, Ron Washington or someone else will be given a significant role in implementing the next level of a process Preller began formulating in earnest about four years ago.
And then the real work will commence.
