The Los Angeles Dodgers hired Ned Colletti as their general manager in 2005 and he has been with the organization ever since, all the while becoming a key figure in the franchise’s history. Colletti worked as the general manager through the 2014 season and despite the limited resources given to him from then-owner Frank McCourt for the majority of his time, he was still able to run the team successfully.

Colletti had the highest win percentage of any National League general manager through his tenure and only had one losing season in his nine years running the club while reaching the postseason five times. But now, Colletti is moving on from the Dodgers, and wished a farewell to the fans and organization after being in L.A. for 17 years.
