M&A --> GM of Pro Sports Team?

After the Ichiro trade I just thought about how similiar banking must be to being a GM. In an acquisition the deal is super secret and you have to negotiate the terms. And I feel like if you can put a value on a multi-billion dollar company you can put a value on how well a player will play. There's so many less variables that you will know what a good deal is. Just discount the five-year batting average lol

But seriously, do you guys think this could work? I also mean way down the line, like an executive or high-level MD at JP Morgan going to be the GM for the Mets. Does anyone know of ex-bankers becoming GMs?
