Came as kind of a surprise to me, Zaidi hired Scott Harris as the new GM. I'm sure you will now google "Scott Harris" so I won't have give you his bio. But I will say he was Theo Epstein's right hand man in Chicago, which probably means he knows what he's doing.

He’s 32 years old! Who’s the new manager, Young Sheldon? GM meetings start today so why hasn’t he improved the team yet? Read an article about him on The Athletic written last year which raved about his abilities and work ethic. He’s certainly qualified despite his youth and I’m looking forward to see how the new team handles the off season.

Not really sure I'd call him qualified, as far as I know he was an intern up until 2015, now he's the GM of a major sports franchise. That's a pretty big jump in a short time. Regardless, I like the move. He's young, and apparently has really good people skills, so that might help in landing some good quality free agents. A solid choice imo, but not qualified. But being qualified isn't always a recipe for success for a GM. After all, Bobby Evans was more than qualified, and the only results he brought to the team as a GM were bad ones.
