Reactions to Kim Ng Hiring


The Miami Marlins overturned the baseball with Kim Ng’s massive recruitment as their general manager. The first woman to hold the post of GG and the first Asian-American to become an NG. Have been applauded for. These rental gravitationalists have rightly boomed, such as Athletic’s Brit Ghiroli Via Twitter Here, but overall, the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal returns to the beginning of the NG in Bagbin, talking to former Big-League executive Dan Evans, who hired him as an intern when he was 21 years old. Leading her to an arbitration hearing for the first time, to recruit her through league offices fees, to recruit Evans for the second time, the former Dodgers jokes about GMNG and shows readiness to lead the club. Is. Evans said (from Rosenthal):

She is part of the reason for being great, because determination is her strong character wealth. He’s going to convince her that maybe she’s not moving at a pace she likes. But has there ever been a more deserving person on the first day on the job? I don’t remember one.

“Marlins didn’t keep her as a woman. They hired her because she is the most qualified person for the job. In my mind, she has been many times. The ownership groups that interviewed her just weren’t ready for any reason. I’m thrilled with what Marlins did. As a father of a couple of daughters, I always want the person who is going to break the roof to be ready for the opportunity, because he is under so much pressure to be the first person. She doesn’t have the ability to fail in some areas that the person does. There will be more attention. Not only is it ready, but it is also ready. They appointed the best and most deserving person, who also happens to be the first woman general manager. It is a great statement for the progress of the game and our society. “

MLB.com’s Annie Rogers provides a number of feedback on hiring NG. Regarding the importance of this hired league and for women, the Yankees minor league hitting coach, Rachel Balkovic, said (per Rogers):

He changes the conversation, ‘Oh it never happened,’ and, ‘Oh, well, Kim is doing it so you can do it. With Jeter, I think it’s also important, because it’s like, ‘Well, if he can make that decision, anyone with so much respect in the game, can make any decision.’ It changes the way people think about conversation and what GM looks like. Significance depends on the size of the problem. “

Jeter’s relationship with NG dates back to his time as assistant GM with the Yankees from 1998 to 2001. That jetter knows that the NGA has come a long way in bringing Marlins confidence in its abilities to move it in the right direction. The notion of skepticism, to be clear, has to do with the general skepticism that goes along with becoming a new GM. For Jeter and for those who know NG, however, there is no doubt that she was the right tenant.

NG has been described by those who worked for him as an attentive, compassionate and measured leader. For example, she met players with daggers when Evans called to thank them, when they fired Evans before the start of the season, writes Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times. That kind of attention and compassion goes a long way in a business that needs cold calculations that players send just as they say.

For all the explanations of his character, Ng was taken because the Merlins believe he is the right person to bring the championship back to Miami. That, too, is the goal of NG. MJB Friso of MLB.com, NG says:

T.His challenge is one that I don’t take lightly. When I went into this business, it seemed like a woman would lead a Major League team, but I am obsessed with the pursuit of my goals. My goal now is to bring the championship baseball to Miami. I am both humble and eager to continue building a winning culture that our fans expect and deserve. “
