"The Los Angeles Dodgers lost an important member of their front office earlier this month when longtime senior vice president of baseball operations Josh Byrnes was hired by the Colorado Rockies to be their new general manager. Byrnes had been with the Dodgers since the 2015 season, when he began supervising the club's scouting and player development. He was part of a remarkable stretch that included 10 National League West titles, five pennants and three World Series championships."
"Baldelli is taking a front office role with the Dodgers, two people familiar with the hire told the Minnesota Star Tribune. Baldelli has a long history with Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman as the two previously were together with the Tampa Bay Rays. Baldelli's playing career overlapped with Friedman's stint as Rays general manager, and after retiring, he joined their front office as a special assistant."
Josh Byrnes departed the Los Angeles Dodgers to become the Colorado Rockies' general manager after serving since 2015 and overseeing scouting and player development. Byrnes helped the Dodgers win 10 National League West titles, five pennants and three World Series championships. The Dodgers added Rocco Baldelli to their front office as a special assistant. Baldelli has longstanding ties to Dodgers president Andrew Friedman from their time with the Tampa Bay Rays, where Baldelli served as a player, special assistant and coach. Baldelli managed the Minnesota Twins from 2019 to 2025, compiling a 527-505 record, winning three AL Central titles and earning 2019 American League Manager of the Year honors. Baldelli has expressed interest in returning to a managerial role.
