Alex Anthopoulos named as Dodgers Vice President

The Los Angeles Dodgers officially have hired Alex Anthopoulos as their vice president of baseball operations. Anthopoulos was previously the senior vice president of baseball operations for the Toronto Blue Jays from 2010-2015 until he stepped down at the conclusion of last season. He has a great reputation as a great baseball businessman as he was named Sporting News' Executive of the Year last year after Toronto made the postseason for the first time since 1993. Anthopoulos, only 38, has already spent 15 years in MLB offices: three with the Montreal Expos (present day Washington Nationals) and 13 with Toronto.
