Overview

  • Owner Dick Monfort has spoken with Adam Ottavino about the head of baseball operations vacancy, according to Tim Healey of the Boston Globe.
  • Arizona executive Amiel Sawdaye and Cleveland executive Matt Forman are no longer being considered following additional interviews, The Athletic reported.
  • The club has not set a timetable and appears to be reopening the search ahead of next week’s general managers’ meetings in Las Vegas.
  • Ottavino is currently a free agent who last pitched for the Yankees in April 2025, has no front-office experience, and it is unclear how seriously he is being considered.
  • The veteran reliever spent 2012–2018 with Colorado and is an unconventional option as leadership seeks outside perspectives after a 43–119 season.
