Seems like he's quite the up-and-coming baseball man that everyone wants. Good for him!

I believe he's the second Stanford guy in that job. Here's your MLB trivia for today: who was the first?
RE: Sam Fuld named Phillies GM - BostonCard - 12-23-2020
Ruben Amaro Jr.

Didn't the White Sox have a Stanford alum as GM (Williams?).
RE: Sam Fuld named Phillies GM - BobK - 12-23-2020
Ken Williams. A one and done football player. Signed to play pro baseball played in the majors a number of years and the White Sox GM once
Also AJ Hinch was a GM
RE: Sam Fuld named Phillies GM - BostonCard - 12-23-2020
I'm an idiot; for some reason I thought you asked about the Phillies. Amaro was the GM for the Phillies 2008 - 2015; he never worked for the White Sox.

Plus one time AL president Bobby Brown

I did ask about the Phillies, so you are right. And so is everyone else, but my question was about the Phillies.

LOL, maybe I'm not a complete idiot. I was wondering why everyone was answering about the White Sox.
I wonder what the complete list of Stanford alums to become GM's in MLB looks like.

I don't think there are many besides BVW and those already mentioned.
Marty Kuehnert is not very well known but he is a Stanford alum who was the general manager of Tohoku Rakuten in the NPB, the first ever foreign general manager in Japan's major leagues.

I might add that Marty K was a catcher for Stanford early on and was teammates with Nine. He was indeed the first non-Japanese GM in NPB history but also the first GM for the expansion Eagles their inaugural year. Now he’s the Owner’s Rep and Senior GM for the Sendai 89ers basketball team. No Stanford alumni on his team (yet)!
