Why did Kim Ng, the first woman general manager in MLB history, walk away from her Marlins post? She gave the same answer Marlins CEO Derek Jeter did when he stepped down.
Kim Ng has always been principled, earning the undying gratitude of three Dodgers general managers in 10 years as their top assistant. She also embraces the responsibility that comes with breaking ground and representing women in her chosen profession. So her decision Monday to decline the mutual option on the last year of her contract as general manager of the Miami Marlins was likely a thoughtful one, not a knee-jerk reaction to a disagreement with owner Bruce Sherman.
Because when you have so many people telling you what an inspiration you are to their sisters, their daughters, their mothers, it’s hard not to recognize that. I don’t think I could ever take that for granted.” She likely didn't take for granted becoming GM of the Marlins. She interviewed unsuccessfully for five other GM openings while working under Dodgers GMs Paul DePodesta and Ned Colletti, Jeter in Miami, and for Joe Torre in the Major League Baseball office.
