Arizona Diamondbacks' Justin Upton has no problems in simulated game
Towers said he "more than likely will not" ask the Padres permission to interview any current San Diego coaches or officials for positions with the Diamondbacks. He said his previous contract with the Padres, who fired him as their GM a little more than a year ago, precludes him from hiring anyone until two Rule 5 drafts have passed since he left.

Bell selected as Delivery Man of Year | padres.com: News
"He's probably the No. 1 guy to go to whenever you need a shutdown inning. He's one of the best at what he does, that's why he's our closer," Bell's teammate Mat Latos said in August. "He's done an unbelievable job so far this year."

Don’t tell KT that non-compete convenants generally aren’t enforced in CA.

Yeah, but is this really a non-compete covenant?

A non-compete would have attempted to prevent Towers from taking another similar type job for a set period of time. Obviously, that is not an issue here.

This is more along the lines of an intellectual property/non-disclosure type provision. The Padres don’t want Towers using knowledge he gained during his employment against them. Enforceable? I don’t know. But definitely NOT a traditional non-compete.
