The Los Angeles Dodgers have established a robust front office under president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman, and that’s been key in their ability to operate without a designated general manager since Farhan Zaidi left the organization for the San Francisco Giants in 2018.
Friedman initially left open the possibility of the Dodgers hiring a new GM to replace Zaidi. However, he then indicated the club would instead rely on the triumvirate of senior vice president of baseball operations Josh Byrnes, farm director Brandon Gomes and director of development and scouting Alex Slater.
Gomes has since been elevated to vice president and assistant general manager, and Slater is the Dodgers’ director of baseball operations.
