“Even though some other people were let go, the layoffs were clearly targeting people who came from Boston the Red Sox, worked with Charles Steinberg, executive vice president/marketing and public relations and were associated with Jamie,” a source said. Steinberg- who was courted by Jamie for his position with the Dodgers- had brought along former colleagues he had worked with in the past. Those individuals- public relations officers Mark Rogoff and Drew Merle, vice president of creative services Tom Catlin, graphics manager Courtney Cowsill, fan services and hospitality director Jahaan Blake, and supervisor of the Ambassadors program Alyssa Shuman- were all let go on Thursday.

Steinberg is a legend in the baseball world for his innovations in building the fan experience at games. As for the other employees who were let go, they also held impressive sports backgrounds with multiple world championships between them and a history of milestone consecutive sell outs- all things the Dodgers organization has been thirsting for.

“Good people were let go. Unfortunately they are now casualties of this situation,” the source added.
