MIAMI -- Brewers outfielder Shane Peterson has history with one of the men reportedly in the running to be Milwaukee's next general manager.
A's assistant GM Dan Kantrovitz, whom the Brewers have been granted permission to interview, according to Ken Rosenthal of MLB Network and Fox Sports, scouted and signed Peterson with the Cardinals in 2008. After Kantrovitz went to work for the A's in 2009, Oakland acquired Peterson in the Matt Holliday trade.
"It seems I'm always following him around," Peterson said. "Whether that's coincidence or not, I don't know."
Now the tables are turned.
