Baird Fired

The Star is reporting that Allard Baird has been fired and that assistant GM Muzzy Jackson will take over on an interim basis pending the hire of Dayton Moore. According to the article, Moore is expected to take the reins next week—after the draft. How odd is that? I'm assuming that Moore will be in constant contact with Jackson prior to, and probably during, the draft itself.

Thus ends the Allard Baird era in which the Royals won 381 games and lost 576 games.
