The Los Angeles Times reports that the Dodgers will announce today that Ned Colletti, Assistant General Manager of the San Francisco Giants, will become the Dodgers' new General Manager.
[We'll insert a commentary here as Dodgers fans before we get to the Nationals. I'm sure that Colletti is a good guy and hopefully he'll be a competent GM, but this is just another reminder that the McCourts are moving the Dodgers sideways--at best--rather than forward. The McCourts haven't done anything recently to convince me that they're the kind of stable ownership that characterized the Dodgers for most of the team's history. Anyway, back to the Nats.]
This means that Theo Epstein is still available to become the Nats' new GM. Of course, there's no chance that he'll be the new GM until the Nats have an owner, which, based on the current trend, should be some time in 2007.

This post leaves absent the question of ownership in Major League Baseball. Bud Selig has screwed over both the Nationals and the Dodgers with his inability to cultivate ownership groups who are capable of running a team. The McCourts were given the Dodgers so that Selig could bail out his television partner, Fox. He has failed to give Nats fans (or, for that matter, Expos fans) any semblance of hope with his pathetic search for new owners in Washington. This incompetence, with the second most important franchise in baseball, and the newest franchise (in the nation's political center) is inexcusable. Imagine if you owned a chain of restaurants and your CEO screwed up one of the flagship eateries and the newest restaurant. Fire Bud Selig. Fire Bud Selig now.
