Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman was voted the 2020 MLB Executive of the Year, becoming the third-ever recipient of the honor.
Billy Beane of the Oakland Athletics won the award in its inaugural year (after the 2018 season), and Tampa Bay Rays general manager Erik Neander received it last season. Neander finished third in voting this year, and Chicago White Sox general manager Rick Hahn was runner-up to Friedman.
Executive of the Year was voted on by all 30 clubs prior to the start of the postseason. Friedman was recognized for assembling a Dodgers roster that finished with the best record (43-17) and won an eighth consecutive National League West title.
