The Dodgers announced a passel of front office moves today.
The Dodgers announced multiple front office moves Tuesday, including the promotion of former Vice President, Assistant General Manager Brandon Gomes to General Manager.
In addition, the Dodgers promoted Alex Slater to Vice President, Assistant General Manager, Brandon McDaniel to Vice President of Player Performance and Thomas Albert to Head Athletic Trainer. Damon Jones has also joined the Dodger front office as Vice President, Assistant General Manager & Baseball Legal Counsel.
Gomes, 37, becomes the 12th general manager in Dodgers history and the first since Farhan Zaidi departed to become the Giants’ President of Baseball Operations in November 2018.
Two Brandons, huh?

From The Athletic, one of the areas of disagreement between MLB and MLBPA is this:
It’s not looking good. Can we resurrect the corpse of Bart Giamatti? https://twitter.com/mlbtraderumors/status/1488279950033657861?s=20&t=5eWXZ3E6hpzUGN4xEGgUdg
The Athletic ranks 6 Dodger prospects among the top 100! https://www.truebluela.com/2022/1/31/22910403/dodgers-prospects-diego-cartaya-top-100-the-athletic-keith-law

He passed along his looks. I can see Joc in his face.
I don’t think we need to await the results from the DNA test.
B*rry continues to get the recognition he deserves. Most encouraging news of this otherwise dismal off-season. https://twitter.com/JohnSheaHey/status/1486115835110248450?s=20
Inching (or perhaps millimetering?) toward an agreement. https://twitter.com/mlbtraderumors/status/1485732045129191426?s=20
I’d sooner have the Dodgers’ front-office Brandons than the Gnats’ pair on the diamond.
Well, Gomes seems to have a lot going for him. He’s risen through the organization pretty quickly.
I wouldn’t hold my breath on this one. https://twitter.com/SportsCentralLA/status/1483569003503112193?s=20
No, me neither.
I’d love to see Puig play in the majors again, but the Dodgers are no longer a good fit.
Not with Mookie in RF, Cody in CF and combinations of Pollock and CT3 and who knows how many others in LF.
Also because of his erratic personality, but he could certainly help some teams.
Probably pretty nostalgic for a team that showed a lot of patience and where he had his best days. But unlikely to settle for not being a starter and would become a distraction.
Prospect pipeline restocked with 4-5 in Top 100 (depending upon who is ranking). Up from 3 on Baseball America last year, which included two (Ruiz and Gray) who are gone now.
Who is to be blamed? https://twitter.com/stephenjnesbitt/status/1483808804814962695?s=20
