List of Major League Baseball general managers explained

This is a list of Major League Baseball general managers.

List

Several of these general managers operate with the titles of "president of baseball operations" in addition to general manager. Others, while maintaining the title of general manager, are subordinate to presidents of baseball operations who have final authority on team personnel decisions. For example, Cardinals GM Mike Girsch reports to former GM and current president of baseball operations John Mozeliak. Similar relationships appear to exist in Minnesota (Thad Levine reporting to Derek Falvey), Cleveland (Mike Chernoff to Chris Antonetti), Philadelphia (Sam Fuld to Dave Dombrowski), the Los Angeles Dodgers (Brandon Gomes to Andrew Friedman), the San Francisco Giants (Pete Putila to Farhan Zaidi), the Seattle Mariners (Justin Hollander to Jerry Dipoto) and the Chicago Cubs (Carter Hawkins to Jed Hoyer). Responsibilities with the Blue Jays (Ross Atkins and Mark Shapiro) are less clear in terms of who holds the highest authority.
