Dodgers executive will be a first female general manager

Dodgers assistant general manager Kim Ng interviewed for the vacant general manger position with the Padres, a San Diego club official has confirmed that. Ng, who previously has interviewed for GM openings with the Dodgers and Mariners, was spotted having lunch with new Padres owner Jeff Moorad, and she was interviewed on Saturday. The Padres are looking for a replacement for Kevin Towers, who was dismissed after 14 seasons with the National League West franchise.

Ng was an assistant general manager with the Yankees before going to the Dodgers, and she worked as an executive with the White Sox. She has been regarded as the leading candidate to become the Major Leagues' first female General Manager. Moorad said on Oct. 6 that there was one minority candidate that the team would interview for the vacant GM job. Kim Ng is Asian-American.
