Follow-up: Ng won't be GM in LA, SD

It looks as if Kim Ng will not be the next general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers or San Diego Padres.

The Dodgers signed current GM Ned Colletti to a long-term deal on Tuesday, while the Padres are "close" to naming Red Sox' assistant GM Jed Hoyer their successor to Kevin Towers.

Towers had been the Padre GM since 1995.

Hoyer, 35, worked under Theo Epstein in Boston and has worked for the Sox since 2002.

New Padre GM?

In my last column, I specifically named the Dodgers and Padres as potential teams that could hire Ng. With these moves, it looks as if she'll have to wait a little longer for a job.

A team needs to take a chance on Ng. She has great potential and it will never be fully reached unless she is given a shot to run a baseball team.
