Former Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Dan Evans, whose drafts and signings stocked the organization with much of its current core of young players, is leaving baseball to become president and CEO of West Coast Sports Management in Pasadena, CA.
Evans, for the past three seasons a special advisor to Seattle Mariners general manager Bill Bavasi, reverses a recent trend of sports agents crossing into baseball.For crying out loud, Glendon Rusch and Rick VandenHurk? Danny deserves better. Heck, he's more than welcome to represent to any of his old friend Logan White's draft picks. That way Logan won't have to deal with another Ass and Asshat like Luke Hochevar and Scott Boras.Evans' contract with the Mariners expired after the season, and his first day with West Coast Sports Management, which represents, among others, Ryan Spilborghs, Glendon Rusch, Shawn Hill and Rick VandenHurk, was Friday.
