LOS ANGELES -- Kim Ng, a vice president and assistant general manager for the Los Angeles Dodgers the past four years, became the first candidate to interview for the team's vacant GM job.


Team spokesman Josh Rawitch said Ng was interviewed Saturday. If hired to succeed Paul DePodesta, she would become major league baseball's first female GM.


Before joining the Dodgers, the 36-year-old Ng served as vice president and assistant general manager for the New York Yankees from 1998-2001.


Ng and Roy Smith, vice president of player development, are handling front-office duties for the Dodgers until a general manager is hired, and will represent the team at the GM meetings, which begin Tuesday in Palm Springs.

Interesting...but I don't see it happening. How do you pronounce her last name? It has no vowels...

[RockSports17]

Yah, easy to spell, but probably one hard last name to pronounce. But great for her, I'd like to see her to get a GM job in the future.

[General]

Damn Asians with their funky ass last names.

[realmofotalk]

Pronounced "ing" like Eng-lish. Try the Vietnamese name Nguyen.

[General]

Like Dat Nguyen?

I pronounce in "en-gen", kinda like an engine, but retarded.

[Fishercat]

Nguyen = Win

That's essentially how it is pronounced, at least every time I've seen it.

I would assume that

Ng = ing, as has been said.

Not that surprising that a woman hasn't had a GM post, but there are many great female executives in the game, and if Bavasi and Wade can get a job, why can't she?

I love working under women

Damn Asians with their funky ass last names.

Yes, because Russians and Ukrainians are so much easier.

[General]

Damn you, Canadian.
