On Friday, the Miami Marlins made history when they hired Kim Ng as their new general manager, the first woman to occupy that role in Major League history. It was a historic signing and, not for nothing, a terrific hire, as Ng has three World Series rings to her credit as a front office executive. In fact, she was one of the candidates the Phils spoke to during the process that ultimately led to Matt Klentak landing the job in 2015.
Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Angels whittled their GM candidates list from 20 down to one, hiring Perry Minasian from the Atlanta Braves to take over as their new general manager.
