"Rockies owner Dick Monfort has spoken with longtime big league reliever Adam Ottavino about the team's top front office vacancy, reports Tim Healey of The Boston Globe. (That'll presumably be a general manager but the title could change based on whomever they hire.) Meanwhile, Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic reports that Guardians' assistant general manager Matt Forman and Diamondbacks' AGM Amiel Sawdaye - previously reported to be finalists for the position - are now out of the running."
"It's unclear how seriously the Rockies are considering Ottavino as a candidate to run baseball operations. The 39-year-old not only has no front office experience of any kind, he's still technically an active player. Ottavino pitched in the majors with the Yankees as recently as this past April. He made three appearances before electing free agency. He spent the rest of the season as a free agent but has not officially announced his retirement."
Dick Monfort has spoken with longtime reliever Adam Ottavino about filling the Rockies' top front-office vacancy, a role likely equivalent to general manager. Guardians assistant GM Matt Forman and Diamondbacks AGM Amiel Sawdaye are no longer being considered. Ottavino is 39, still technically an active player, and has no front-office experience; he made three major-league appearances with the Yankees this past April before electing free agency and has not announced retirement. Ottavino is experienced with analytics as a pitching-development tool, has appeared as an MLB Network guest analyst, and spent nearly half his career in Denver with a 3.41 ERA across 361 appearances.
