New General Manager Taking Over Bridgeport Bluefish

BRIDGEPORT, CT — A Milford resident has been promoted to general manager of the Bridgeport Bluefish of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.

Paul Herrmann will be elevated from his previous role as assistant general manager and director of baseball operations, according to a statement issued by the team.

He replaces Jamie Toole, who steps down to pursue new career opportunities.

“Paul is an experienced leader within the Bluefish organization and is extremely deserving of this promotion,” Bluefish principal owner/CEO Frank Boulton said. “We are excited to continue to build on the momentum the team has built throughout the past few seasons.”

Herrmann, 31, a native of Center Moriches, N.Y., joined the Bluefish front office in November 2008, when he was hired as a media relations coordinator. Prior to joining the Bluefish, he functioned as the media relations assistant for the Long Island Ducks, where he actively worked with local media while also writing press releases and maintaining team statistics. He has also spent time working with the New York Jets, New York Knicks and Sussex Skyhawks.

Herrmann graduated from Rutgers University in 2007 and spent two years in the Athletic Communications department during his time there.

“I’m very excited and honored to assume the general manager position with the Bluefish during the team’s 20th anniversary season,” he said. “Going on my ninth year in Bridgeport, I’ve been able to meet many of our tremendous partners, season ticket holders and fans. We’re looking forward to another great season, and with the help from our talented staff, we plan to make this a fun summer for everyone.”
