Here’s the latest from FOXSports’ Ken Rosenthal in his Full Count video:

If Kevin Towers becomes the Arizona Diamondbacks’ GM, he could end up haunting not only his former team the San Diego Padres, but also the Los Angeles Dodgers. When Dennis Gilbert tried to buy the Texas Rangers, he was fully prepared to name Towers his general manager. Gilbert could be a candidate to purchase the Dodgers, but Towers is not going to wait around to see what happens there. Current Diamondback’s interim GM Jerry Dipoto could be a candidate for the New York Mets GM position.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are on pace to lose 108 games and team president Frank Coonelly says that is unacceptable. Rival executives expect the team to make changes. GM Neal Huntington and manager John Russell are under contract through next season, but the team has made no assurances that either will return.

Milwaukee Brewers manager Ken Macha is likely to be fired and it is uncertain if his coaching staff will return. Among those on the coaching staff are Willie Randolph and Rick Peterson. Peterson still has one more year left on his contract.

A source close to Rosenthal says that Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish is likely to be posted this winter, and the New York Yankees will probably go after the right-hander. One scout told Rosenthal that he doesn’t see Darvish more than a number three pitcher.
