Towers Extended

The longest tenured GM in baseball is staying in San Diego through the 2010 season after getting an extension. Kevin Towers has put together 4 playoff teams, including the National League Champion 1998 installment, with major payroll restrictions. KT is known best for consistently assembling top notch bullpens that have long been a staple in the Padres organization. Towers has locked up young stars Jake Peavy, and Adrian Gonzalez over the last year and is now challenged with the task of signing shortstop Khalil Greene, who, through his spectacular glove work and powerful bat have made him a fan favorite. The official announcement of Towers' extension will come Wednesday.
