Ned Colletti was named General Manager back in 2005. He held that title until the end of 2014 when he was demoted to an advisory role. But during his time with the team, the Dodgers made five playoff appearances and had just one season below .500. While he was the GM, the Dodgers’ record was 783-674. He was great but just not getting the job done, thus his demotion in favor of a brand new brain trust.
He has had some great deals, but the biggest of them all came when he acquired three All-Stars and a key utility player from the Boston Red Sox.
