One indication that the Marlins made the wrong decision in not committing more strongly to general manager Kim Ng is how quickly baseball fans and media wanted her to be hired for other top team executive jobs.
Soon after news of Ng leaving Miami was reported, several reporters suggested she would be an ideal candidate for the Red Sox front office. Boston fired chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom one month ago and has not yet named a replacement.
According to WEEI's Rob Bradford, Thad Levine of the Twins and the Phillies' Sam Fuld are current GMs the Red Sox are considering, in addition to Cubs assistant GM Craig Breslow. But Ng is now available and Bradford points out that she worked in the Dodgers' front office when Boston manager Alex Cora played there.
