In 2005, Ng was interviewed for the vacant position of Dodgers general manager. No female has ever been a GM in any major sport. The Dodgers hired Ned Colletti as their GM, who immediately kept Ng on as his assistant. In 2008, she was interviewed for the general manager position with the Seattle Mariners, but the position went to Jack Zduriencik. In 2009, she interviewed for the San Diego Padres' General Manager position, which went to Jed Hoyer.[2][3] On March 8, 2011, Ng announced that she was leaving the Dodgers to take on the position of "Senior Vice President of Baseball Operations" for Major League Baseball, where she would report to former Dodgers manager Joe Torre.[4]
