On Saturday, Kim Ng reportedly interviewed for the San Diego Padres’ general manager position and now has another chance to be the first female GM in major league baseball history. Ng is currently the Los Angeles Dodgers’ assistant general manager and one of just two women executives in MLB to hold that position. This is the third time that Ng has interviewed for a GM spot.

Back in 2005, she became the first woman to ever interview for a general manager’s position when she interviewed with the Dodgers. Then this past fall, she interviewed for the Seattle Mariners’ GM job.
Kevin Towers was fired two weeks ago from his post as GM for the Padres. And though the interviewing process has been relatively under wraps, it is expected that Jed Hoyer, the assistant GM of the Red Sox, may be the leading candidate.
According to the Associated Press, sources say that Ng interviewed with Padres CEO and vice chairman Jeff Moorad on Saturday. However neither Ng nor Moorad would comment.
