Mariners Hint at Hiring Kim Ng

The world we live in sure is changing. All one has to do is look at this year's Presidential election to see that. No matter what happens, we're either going to have our first black President, or our first female Vice President. Obviously, the fine folks in MLB have taken notice of these changes, and now they want to show that they're pretty hip and with the times as well.

Which is why the Seattle Mariners have dropped hints that they may be hiring current Dodgers assistant GM, Kim Ng, to be their next general manager.

Mariners president Chuck Armstrong said his team is vetting a wide range of general manager candidates, pointedly leaving open the possibility of Seattle hiring the first female general manager in major league history.

"It's time for some fresh thinking," Armstrong said at the end of his 23rd season with the team - what he called his worst and most "miserable" one.

"We're color blind, gender blind," he went on to say. "We just want the best person that we think would be the best person for the Mariners as we move forward," Armstrong said.

The Mariners have also been talent blind lately, and they're hoping Ng could be the woman to fix that. If nothing else, she'll probably at least get the team to start dressing better.
