Ned Colletti, who had been the team's GM since 2005, will remain with the team as a senior advisor to team president and CEO Stan Kasten. Friedman's role will presumably be similar to Theo Epstein's with the Cubs. Epstein is the team's president of baseball operations and Jed Hoyer is the GM.Mike Axisa/CBS Sports
