According to a team official close to Buster Olney of ESPN, Bob DuPuy, the No. 2-ranked executive for Major League Baseball is “on his way out.”

DuPuy is the president and chief operating officer for MLB and is expected to move out of his current role, according to three high-ranking executives within baseball. The timing of the change is not year clear.

DuPuy was once considered a longtime ally of commissioner Bud Selig, but some say the two are not as close as they once were. Some had seen DuPuy as a possible successor to Selig once he steps down.
