Major League Baseball is a famously conservative institution, enamored with its history and slow to evolve. But the sport is finally catching up to the rest of American business in one vital area: job-title inflation.

Since the end of the 2013 season, five of the seven teams that have hired or promoted new people to run their baseball departments have given them lofty titles that don’t include the traditional description of the role: general manager. Three of those teams have, in turn, named that person’s chief underling the general manager, redefining what it means to have that coveted job.

The Los Angeles Dodgers hired Andrew Friedman as president of baseball operations last month, and then hired Farhan Zaidi as general manager. The Chicago Cubs, Miami Marlins and, to a lesser extent, the Atlanta Braves have created similar structures.

The Arizona Diamondbacks went so far as to hire the sport’s only C-level baseball czar this year, giving Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa the title of chief baseball officer. The team’s general manager, Dave Stewart, reports to him.

At this rate, the once all-powerful GM title will soon belong to the intern of the aide to the assistant of the Supreme Baseball Leader.
