Timeline
Robert Douglas Melvin (born August 8, 1952) is a Canadian front-office executive in Major League Baseball (MLB) who previously served as the general manager of the Texas Rangers (1995–2001) and Milwaukee Brewers (2002–2015).
He is currently a senior advisor for the Brewers.
A former minor-league pitcher who played in the Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Yankees farm systems from 1972–78, Melvin began his front office career with the Yankees as an assistant scouting director, then spent nearly a decade (1987–94) as assistant general manager and director of player development of the Baltimore Orioles.
Melvin and Attanasio named the Brewers' third base coach Dale Sveum the interim manager for the regular season's final 12 games, and the Brewers clinched the National League Wild Card on the last day of the season, giving the team its first playoff berth since 1982.
In his first general manager posting, with the Texas Rangers from 1994–2001, the Rangers qualified for the postseason three times—the only times the franchise had done so to that point in its history.
In 1996, Melvin received The Sporting News Executive of the Year Award, as general manager of the Rangers.
Melvin spent the 2002 season as a consultant for the Boston Red Sox before taking the reins in Milwaukee.
On September 26, 2002, Melvin became general manager of the Milwaukee Brewers.
In 2007, he ended the franchise's 15-year streak of losing seasons when the Brewers finished above .500, although a late-season slide eliminated them from the NL Central and wild-card races.
In 2008, Melvin moved the Brewers into Wild Card and, briefly, NL Central contention with his bold, mid-season pickup of pitcher CC Sabathia, but another late-season losing streak, which left the Brewers out of contention for their division title and tied for the NL Wild Card, caused Melvin and club owner Mark Attanasio to fire manager Ned Yost with 12 games left in the regular season.
On December 19, Zack Greinke, who won the Cy Young Award in 2009, was acquired along with shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt.
After the 2010 season, Melvin made three separate transactions that helped the Brewers get to the playoffs in 2011.
On December 6, 2010, he acquired starting pitcher, Shaun Marcum.
In 2011, the Brewers won the most games in franchise history with 96 victories.
The Brewers bullpen was also stellar, led by closer John Axford, who set two new franchise records with most consecutive converted saves (42) and most saves in a season (46).
Furthermore, Melvin added Francisco Rodriguez before the mid-season 2011 trading deadline; Rodriguez repeatedly pitched in the eighth inning as Axford's set-up man.
Along with Rodriguez, Melvin obtained veteran infielder, Jerry Hairston Jr.., who provided timely hitting to bolster an already-solid Milwaukee Brewer offense.
As a result, the Milwaukee Brewers won their division for only the second time in their history and made their fourth playoff appearance in 2011.
With Nyjer Morgan's game-winning hit against the Arizona Diamondbacks in a dramatic tenth inning, the Brewers won the divisional playoff series on October 7, 2011.
In the National League Championship Series, the Brewers lost to their divisional foe, the St. Louis Cardinals in six games.
In 2011, as general manager of the Brewers, Melvin was named by Baseball America as its Major League Executive of the Year.
In 2012, Melvin was inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.
On August 11, 2015, Melvin transitioned to an advisory role, leaving his general manager position.
Melvin is currently the senior special advisor with the Milwaukee Brewers.
In 2018, Melvin was inducted onto the Milwaukee Brewers Wall of Honor.
