Ding Dong, Dee is Gone!

+

Padres have fired President, CEO, and generally unliked by fans executive Mike Dee! It's supposedly unrelated to Preller's suspension, and given Dee's less than stellar tenure at President and CEO I'd not be surprised if they're telling the truth. From BSPlaza, to Manziel's drafting, to the Gay Men's Chorus gaffe, to the gutting of lower level season ticket plans, his tenure has been one stumble after another. But hey at least he got the All Star Game to San Diego right?
