This article was inspired by Farhan Zaidi, who recently lost his position as President of Operations for the Giants (although I thought of him as their GM). What I concluded from hearing him talk was that he lost his position by not obtaining star players, which led platooning, which was not well received. I wondered, which had the bigger impact: win-loss record or number of star players? However, let’s have a broader look at GMs before we answer the question.
What is the tenure of current GMs?
The following histogram shows how long the current GMs have held their position.
