The Los Angeles Dodgers hire Caroline Perry, a former San Diego Padres executive, as executive vice president and chief operating officer. The team announces the move as a key addition to its front office leadership.

The reports describe Perry’s previous role with the Padres, where she served as chief operating officer. They also place the hire in the context of a vacancy created by the retirement of the Dodgers’ current COO, Bob Wolfe, who has worked alongside team president Stan Kasten. Across outlets, the core facts align: Perry is moving from the Padres’ front office to a top operational and executive leadership position with the Dodgers.

Differences are mainly in emphasis. Some outlets frame the story as a “poach” from the Padres, while others focus on the specific internal transition—Perry taking over the role previously held by Wolfe—and rely on sourcing around the timing and confirmation of the decision.
