Exclusive Interview: Dodgers Assistant General Manager Jeff Kingston

Jeff Kingston was hired on as Assistant General Manager for the Los Angeles Dodgers at the beginning of December. Now – on the verge of spring training – he was nice enough to join Clint Pasillas (@realFRG) and myself (@DiamondHoggers) to talk about what it’s like in the Dodgers front office.

I really enjoyed this interview from beginning to end. Kingston was not only accommodating but displayed a stark intelligence that allowed us to pick his brain.

Highlights of the Interview With Jeff Kingston:

Interview topics include:

• His New Jersey roots and being a Dodgers fan from birth

Moreover, a lot more came out of the discussion; making for a great quick listen!

Dodgers Nation would like to thank Jeff Kingston for joining us for this interview. It’s great to get to know a member of the front office a little better, and work with an organization who wants the fan base to know them with transparency.
