November 13, 20205 yr Author Finally she gets the job. Seemed to be interviewed for multiple jobs every year.

November 13, 20205 yr Author Quote “On behalf of Principal Owner Bruce Sherman and our entire ownership group, we look forward to Kim bringing a wealth of knowledge and championship-level experience to the Miami Marlins,” said Marlins CEO Derek Jeter. “Her leadership of our baseball operations team will play a major role on our path toward sustained success. Additionally, her extensive work in expanding youth baseball and softball initiatives will enhance our efforts to grow the game among our local youth as we continue to make a positive impact on the South Florida community.” https://beyondthebases.mlblogs.com/miami-marlins-name-kim-ng-general-manager-41a97807fa5e
November 13, 20205 yr Wow. This is cool. Also, this is absolutely not a hire for the sake of saying they got the first female GM, she has legitimate baseball credentials so that is important. This is not just a PR move.
November 13, 20205 yr Author She has better credentials and more experience than some other GMs have had. Passed over for way too long.

That was my worry at first but she seems to have the pedigree.
November 13, 20205 yr Excited and proud of this team. Everyone involved looks good. Smart. Organized. A community builder who wants to bring in fans and supports youth baseball.she has a history of working with winning franchises. Doesn't come with baggage...in fact probably lightens some of the baggage we carry! Good job Marlins and Jeets. Edited November 13, 20205 yr by Major-Minor Thumbs and phones
November 13, 20205 yr This is such a great move. As much as we were able to finally appreciate Mike Hill lately this could be a legitimate upgrade too. So proud to have this team finally making smart moves.
November 13, 20205 yr It's really interesting and surprised, I believe nobody thinking of her before, maybe "she" (yeah, it's the first time we need to use the word "she " when mention a member of the FO) would bring in some Asian players because of her blood lineage.
November 13, 20205 yr Wait, so its just outside the box because she doesnt have a penis between her legs? Shows that as much as things change, some things havent. This is far far from being 'outside' the box in terms of experience and credentials. Some things never change tbh. Pretty fucking sad. Going to be just as 'outside the box' as when the first female coaches an NBA team. (Hopefully in 2021-2022) Great fucking hire btw. I hope she is getting paid what any other insanely qualified GM gets paid.
