List of Major League Baseball general managers

This is a list of people currently serving in the role of general manager (GM) for the 30 teams of Major League Baseball (MLB).

MLB general managers (from left): Brian Cashman (Yankees), Mike Chernoff (Guardians), and Mike Rizzo (Nationals)

List

Several of these general managers operate with the titles of "president of baseball operations" (or variants thereof, such as "chief baseball officer") in addition to, or in lieu of, a general manager title. 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 Chaim Bloom. Similar relationships appear to exist in Minnesota (Jeremy Zoll to Derek Falvey), Cleveland (Mike Chernoff to Chris Antonetti), Philadelphia (Preston Mattingly to Dave Dombrowski), the Los Angeles Dodgers (Brandon Gomes to Andrew Friedman), the San Francisco Giants (Zack Minasian to Buster Posey), the Seattle Mariners (Justin Hollander to Jerry Dipoto), the Miami Marlins (Gabe Kapler to Peter Bendix), the Chicago Cubs (Carter Hawkins to Jed Hoyer), the Tampa Bay Rays (the role, while currently vacant, reports to Erik Neander), the Washington Nationals (the role, while currently vacant, reports to Paul Toboni), and the Colorado Rockies (the role, while currently vacant, reports to Paul DePodesta) Responsibilities with the Blue Jays (Ross Atkins and Mark Shapiro) are less clear in terms of who holds the highest authority.
