Front office departures side effect of success

CINCINNATI -- The Pirates' recent run of success has had an impact on their city, their fans, their players and their level of national recognition. It could be making an impact on their front office, too.

On Tuesday, the Marlins hired Marc DelPiano as their vice president of player development. DelPiano had been a special assistant to Pirates general manager Neal Huntington since 2008.

On Tuesday night, USA Today reported that Pirates director of player personnel Tyrone Brooks will interview with the Brewers this weekend regarding their soon-to-be-vacant general manager position.

"Part of our obligation and responsibility is to help people grow personally and professionally and to meet their professional and personal goals, whether those are here -- hopefully they will be," Huntington said Wednesday, though he couldn't comment specifically on Brooks.
