New Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt met with current GM Dan Evans on friday and announced that the team will start it's search for a new GM, McCourt told Evans that he will be one of the candidates for the job, the job that he has held for three years, after McCourt told Evans about his plans and assuring him that he is a legitimate candidate for the job, McCourt said "i wanted to be very direct and honest with him, so that he heard it from me first", Evans refused to comment,
the knock on Evans around the league is that he is horrible at returning phone calls, making contract and trade negotiations very difficult, the Dodgers, who were in the playoff race for most of last season, had the N.L.'s worst offense and the N.L.'s best pitching, something that was never able to balance out,
the list of possible candidates is rumored to include: Evans, Pat Gillick, Jim Bowden, assistant GM Kim Ng, and others, the Dodgers were refused permission to speake with A's GM Billy Beane,
McCourt said he would like to have a decision by early in spring training, when asked about the fate of Manager Jim Tracy, who is in the final year of a three year contract, McCourt said that would be up to the GM.
