Mets GM Search: Logan White No Longer A Candidate

According to numerous sources, Dodgers assistant GM Logan White was told by the Mets this morning that he had been kicked out of the shore house and is no longer being considered for the GM vacancy. He will return to his role with the Dodgers.

The Mets are expected to whittle the field down to a group of finalists, possibly three, perhaps as soon as today. Sandy Alderson is almost certain to be one of them, and likely two of White Sox assistant GM Rick Hahn, former Diamondbacks GM Josh Byrnes, and Red Sox "assistant to the general manager" Allard Baird. There's a good chance that Dana Brown, the lone minority candidate and assistant to the GM of the Blue Jays, was included mainly to appease the commissioner's office's front office consideration requirements. Race aside, he's the only candidate with zero experience as a GM or assistant GM, and that as much as anything makes him the longest shot of this group.

2013 ALL-STAR GAME(TM) LOGO CONTEST

Major League Baseball has formally announced that Citi Field will be the site of the 2013 All-Star Game. (see video) In light of this, I have decided to launch an All-Star Game logo contest. To help get you started, I provided all of you with a sample All-Star Game logo. (click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one.

Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
Jon Rauch is awesome. Dan Tanna is, obviously, a fan of Greg Pomes.
