Since creating a new position to hire Andrew Friedman as president of baseball operations in October 2014, the Los Angeles Dodgers have built out a front office that’s as robust as any across Major League Baseball or professional sports.
Farhan Zaidi was brought in as general manager, and the club also hired several personnel who had previous GM experience to fill an array of positions. The Dodgers have pointed to their large number of executives as a positive and downplayed there being too many opinions in the room.
There was movement this past offseason, as Alex Anthopoulos left his post as senior vice president of baseball operations head up the Braves front office; Jeremy Zoll, former assistant to director of player development is now with the Minnesota Twins; and former director of player development Gabe Kapler was named Philadelphia Phillies manager.
