Congratulations to a new Canadian GM (Ontario-born) in baseball Farhan Zaidi. From what I've read he is extremely brilliant and comes with great credentials. Looking forward to what him and Andrew Friedman have in store for that team with resources at their disposal.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed to hire Canadian Farhan Zaidi, the Oakland Athletics assistant GM, as the club's new general manager, according to multiple reports.
Zaidi, who was born in Sudbury, Ont., and raised mostly in the Philippines, just completed his 10th season in Oakland's front office as one of general manager Billy Beane's creative assistants and analysts. Zaidi will now work under new Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman, who joined the team last month from the Tampa Bay Rays.
