After 15 seasons at the helm of the Eugene Emeralds, General Manager Allan Benavides will step down to lead the new Ontario Baseball Team, a Minor League affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
His final game with the Emeralds will be May 21.
In a news release, the Eugene Emeralds organization said Benavides will continue to support the Ems in an advisory role as they pursue a new stadium and long-term home.
The franchise expects to announce the Ems' next general manager in the coming days.
