Sources: Rockies to hire DePodesta to run baseball operations
The Colorado Rockies are finalizing a deal to hire Paul DePodesta to run their baseball operations department, sources told ESPN, turning to the longtime executive to overhaul a stagnant organization coming off a 119-loss season.
DePodesta, 52, will leave the Cleveland Browns, where he has spent the past decade as chief strategy officer, and return to baseball, where he was a key figure in the "Moneyball"-era Oakland A's and later ran the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Browns have posted two winning seasons and a 56-99-1 record since DePodesta's arrival.

I guess Cleveland football isn't DePodesta's thing.
