Dayton Moore, formerly assistant GM for the Atlanta Braves, was named the new general manager for the Kansas City Royals. Moore will stay with the Braves until after next week's draft.
Baird has been replaced already and VP of baseball operations Muzzy Jackson will run the draft for the Royals, who have the first pick.
Muzzy Jackson's bio on the Royals website does not list a first name for him other than Muzzy and he is the first person I've ever heard of named Muzzy except in a "Rockford Files" episode.
