Los Angeles, CA (My Sportsbook) - The Los Angeles Dodgers announced on Tuesday that Jamie McCourt has been named the club's chief executive officer and Dennis Mannion president and chief operating officer.

"Jamie has done an outstanding job of assembling a talented management team, fostering a positive culture, and building a first-class business operation," said Dodgers owner Frank McCourt. "We all now look forward to Jamie and Dennis taking the organization to new heights."

Jamie McCourt was named president of the club August 12, 2005 and will now oversee among other business units, the strategic direction and decisions of the organization, focusing on the development of relationships throughout the community, Major League Baseball and with corporate partners and public officials. She is the wife of Frank McCourt.

"We are very optimistic about the future of this franchise -- on the field, in the stands, and in our neighborhoods. Baseball is tied to family values; it is classic Americana, and it is the National Pastime for a reason," said Jamie McCourt.

Mannion was named the club's COO in November 2007 and had since added the title of executive vice president before being promoted on Tuesday. Before joining the Dodgers organization, Mannion spent 27 years working with the Philadelphia Phillies, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, and Baltimore Ravens in similar capacities.

"Dennis has done an excellent job of implementing our strategy with his disciplined approach and innovative ideas," Jamie McCourt added. "Having worked with him during this past year and a half, Dennis has demonstrated that he is ready to take the reigns of the day-to-day operations as president/COO of this ballclub."
