front office

It is the first time in more than a quarter-century that the Rockies have brought in someone from outside the organization to lead their front office.

As the club’s front office arrived at The Cosmopolitan Hotel for MLB’s annual general managers’ meetings this week, the team’s plans for this winter remained in a formative stage.

Friedman wasn’t ready to commit to any specific spending levels after Monday’s parade, saying the front office was still in the process of “really getting a sense of our roster, which obviously we know, but to really dig in and appreciate what areas we want to really target and making sure we have the requisite depth.”

Sometime before Game 7 began, word began to circulate among the Dodgers’ front office and coaching staff that Yamamoto was an option.

The executive responsible for running their front office didn’t report directly to ownership, as is standard within the industry.
