"Walt Jocketty ceded the general manager's title to Dick Williams on Wednesday and he will give up power following the 2016 season.
Williams, 44, was named the team's general manager on Wednesday, while Jocketty keeps his title as President of Baseball Operations. Jocketty is entering the third year of a three-year contract for that position and will leave that spot following the 2016 season for an advisory role to owner Bob Castellini."
