Pirates new CEO is Frank Coonelly
Link
- Chuck Greenberg, believed to be the only other candidate in the Pirates' search for a new president, today said he'd been told by chairman of the board Bob Nutting that he wouldn't get the job and that the Pirates "have selected Frank Coonelly."
Coonelly is Major League Baseball's chief labor counsel.
It's still unclear when the Pirates will make the official announcement about Coonelly.
Coonelly, 47, who began working for Major League Baseball in 1998, helps teams with salary arbitration cases and determines signing bonus slots for the amateur draft. He also is part of the negotiating team for collective bargaining agreements with the union and the umpires.
And then there's this little tidbit
- A story in USA Today in April ranked Coonelly 12th on a list of the 50 most influential people in baseball.

Great choice for Pittsburgh... Hopefully they pick up LaCava for GM...
That's who I hope they go with for the gm. Or I'd take someone from Cleveland's organization with their uncanny ability to build a contender, tear it apart, and rebuild and be a contender again in two years.
Sounds Good to Me Gary. Saw you today in the stairwell but I was late for class.
