Certain professions have a tendency to be considered a bit “shady” meaning that it is caveat emptor or buyer beware. The latest list I looked at had one specific position omitted. I assume that the author was neglectful via omission, did not do diligent research or was not a baseball fan. Missing from the list is baseball general managers or other executive titles that have been formulated to essentially broaden the scope of the position.
In Boston, we have President of Baseball Operations and within that blanket is the GM and assistant GM and various others who are there to protect ownership – usually from themselves.
