Mike Dee has left his position as CEO of the Miami Dolphins for the same position with the San Diego Padres.

"It's a chance to return to my roots," said Dee, who worked previously for the Padres (1995-2002) as well as the Boston Red Sox before joining the Dolphins. "This is a great opportunity to run a team and a facility. It's a chance to sail a ship I helped construct."

Stephen Ross intends to continue splitting up the Dolphins' business and player aspects of the business.
