He went from running the Dodgers to fighting sex trafficking

Kevin Malone, a former Dodgers general manager, has reinvented himself as an advocate fighting sex trafficking. John Moores, owner of the San Diego Padres, bashed the Dodgers for acting “like they’re only interested in their own self-interest.” Sandy Alderson, now president of the New York Mets and then baseball’s executive vice president, ripped Malone’s statements about concern over payroll disparity as “an affront and an insult to the commissioner of baseball.” Payroll disparity was a feature, not a bug, of the system negotiated between owners and players. When Malone took over the Dodgers, he announced there was a “new sheriff in town.” The Padres mocked Malone, with Moores, general manager Kevin Towers and manager Bruce Bochy posing in Western gear for the cover photo of the team’s media guide. “They started calling me ‘Holy Hog’ or ‘Reverend Hog,’ ” Malone said. “He and I both had daughters, and there’s that man side of you that says you just want to kill someone” for forcing girls into sex work, Chan said.
