Josh Byrnes Becomes Rockies New General Manager
The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reports that former Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres general manager Josh Byrnes will be the new Colorado Rockies GM under president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta, according to sources. Byrnes had been the Los Angeles Dodgers' senior vice president of baseball operations since 2014. The 55-year-old served as the Rockies' assistant GM under Dan O'Dowd from October 1999 through the 2002 season. Byrnes worked with DePodesta in the late 1990s in Cleveland when they were both starting their careers. He was also the assistant GM with the Boston Red Sox from 2003-05 and was part of their World Series championship in '04. Byrnes served as Arizona's GM from 2005-10 and as the Padres' GM from 2011-14. His work with the Dodgers, while helping them win three World Series titles, was key to his return to Colorado.
