Sounds like it might be a new layer of bureaucracy between Edson and TGD.

Keep on hiring, SU. Quantity is the new quality.

This. Replacement, not new position.

Aren't they still hiring a few people in ticketing as well?

Bingo. A small portion of Springfield's job duties, but otherwise another person with a fancy title for the top-heavy administration. Let's hope he was brought in to increase revenue from media-related work, and not to spend his time to start a baseball program...unless he's bringing Knight's checkbook with him.
