After weeks of speculation about who would fill the sports blogosphere's highest-profile job, it was confirmed today that A.J. Daulerio will become the site's new editor, replacing the departing Will Leitch.Clay Travis will be named the site's new associate editor. Current associate editor Rick Chandler will remain in that position.
The hiring of Daulerio was no surprise; as Leitch's right-hand man at Deadspin, he was widely viewed as the favorite to get the job. Daulerio previously ran the blog Oddjack and was a founding editor of The Black Table.
Travis, who writes the popular ClayNation column at CBSSports.com, is more of an outside-the-box selection -- a representative of the mainstream media, not the blogosphere.
UPDATE: Deadspin's official announcement is here.
UPDATE 2: A.J. Daulerio Interview: 'There's Going to Be "Why Deadspin Sucks" Columns All Over the Place'.
