There had been some speculation that there would be a change in the Brewers front office this season, and yesterday, we got confirmation that it is going to happen. Yesterday, Doug Melvin said that he is ready to step out of the GM role and the search for a new GM will begin immediately. The Brewers have already hired search firm Korn Ferry to assist them in the process, and they are going to be targeting young candidates. Meanwhile, Doug Melvin will remain with the team in an advisory role.
Doug Melvin will be leaving the Brewers franchise in much better shape than when he arrived.
