Smart is smart.

Good for her and hope she does well. Just hope she does not succeed against the Mets.

 

[HeavenUniv.]

Maybe she can get the team to move to New Jersey so we can have our own team to root for !!! I can only imagine how much money the Yankees/Mets or Phillies would extort from an owner bringing a team here. Not sure where a team could be placed where it wouldn’t be in their territory rights. Maybe by Great Adventure?

Or if she does a a good job the new owners gets her to Flushing. 🙂

The stadium that at one point was supposed to be in the Meadowlands was going to look just like Kaufman where the Royals play.

Good luck to her!

Sounds like she was qualified for the position given her experience. Her gender and ethnicity shouldn't have even been considered.

Wish her the best

 

[Plum Street]

Hope the Marlins have success. They can build off a nice season and they have a very nice ballpark in south florida . Very underrated park

It probably wasn't. Who said it was?

Derek Jeter wants to win and will pick the best to join the organization. He obviously knows her from her time with the Yankees.

 

[Terry_2426]

Well deserved and highly respected amongst MLB ranks...arguably had the credentials to be hired for this position 10 years ago and almost feels like too good of a hire for Miami.

 

[Chuch Wilder]

Unfortunatley for all the fans of the individual teams the NL East is the best division in baseball. Gonna be intriguing the next few seasons.

 

[NY AGENTMAN]

Will Jeter give her a Steiner package and a Limo ride home?

 

[Caliknight]

And she’s Asian!

 

[patk89]

My friend's wife grew up with her in Ridgewood and they are still friends. I've already inquired about tickets when they play the Mets and his response was that he will be taken care of but for me to purchase my own.

 

[ru_upstate]

Don’t know much about her track record or her philosophies on how to build a team, but that resume is crazy good!
