General manager (baseball)
In Major League Baseball, the general manager (GM) of a team typically controls player transactions and bears the primary responsibility on behalf of the ballclub during contract discussions with players.
In 1927, former umpire Billy Evans became the first person to hold a general manager title with a major-league team, the Cleveland Indians.
