Some Off-the-Field News...

I apologetically forgot to mention these...

• First, directly relating to the Dodgers, Ned Colletti will now report directly to team president Dennis Mannion. Mannion had been head of business operations, which will now be consolidated with baseball operations, and the two will act as one.
• Also somewhat related to the Dodgers, the Kings are holding Dodger Night at Staples Center this Saturday, December 12th, against the Dallas Stars. Former Dodger Eric Karros will be on hand to sign autographs and will be part of the ceremonial puck drop before the game. I assume other Dodger legends will be part of this night, as well a couple of current players. Andre Ethier is highlighted on the ad in the link above, so perhaps he'll be part of this night? The Kings will also be giving away free limited-edition T-shirts with the Kings Crown logo in Dodger Blue with the purchase of tickets to this game. Cool!
• Yesterday, ESPN's Peter Gammons announced he was leaving the network to join MLB.com, MLB Network and NESN. Solid move on both sides.
