Better would be to trade Stanton to the Dogders and fill his role with Bryce.

Zaidi, Turner Ward and Chris Woodward all leaving in the same offseason would be brutal.

What other decent GM candidates are there out there? Would we be the team that finally gives Kim Ng a GM job?

Not for the Dodgers it doesn't. They don't have anywhere to play Stanton and they don't have the room for his contract without hitting the luxury tax.

Honestly, a GM title is a demotion for Ng at this point, people need to move off of this talking point. She should have been given a GM job a while back, there are other women in baseball who should get it now.

I am not so sure that leaving a bureaucratic position as Joe Torre's underling to break baseball's GM gender barrier with a high prestige, big market organization (with whom she has a professional history) would be considered a demotion but okay.

Also not trying to take away from someone like Jean Afterman, who would be a super intriguing hire.

Anyway, I hope its all a moot point and our dear Farhan stays put.

She's the Senior Vice-President for Baseball Operations for the league, not the Assistant To The Regional Manager.

Her getting a GM job would obviously be a big deal but it's not like she doesn't already have a high-ranking position in the sport.

Afterman has previously said she wants something higher up than GM and endorsed Ng for GM. I figured Ng for GM and Afterman for Baseball Ops was likely what the Giants would try for, but apparently there’s more concern about the FBI coming to Dodgertown than I’ve been led to believe.

Yeah I’m shocked a Yankees fan would love to sign Bryce Harper to play a position he has literally never played. Let me guess: also sign Machado at the same time and then trade Miguel Andujar (who is definitely winning Rookie of the Year) for Corey Kluber straight up.

He should try to recruit Logan White, who drafted all the homegrown Dodgers stars, away from the Padres if he really wants to drive the Dodgers crazy.

I think it says more about how baseball front offices work these days. Zaidi has to build an entire administration of his own in SF to be able to keep up. It’s going to take time to do that + build up the farm system. Unless he manages to poach a bunch of guys from the Friedman administration, it’s not gonna matter much to the Dodgers
