Based on GG5, it seems to be only the restricted sense ("the people who manage a professional baseball team") rather than the usual sense of "front office":

I came across it in this context today:
ご父兄、選手をはじめ関係者の皆様にご迷惑をおかけしており、フロントからもそのことに対するご批判を頂いたからです。
(This is a person resigning from the All-Azabu baseball team: http://allazabu.gooside.com/)
.
This is precisely the context in the example sentence in GG5's entry:
新和英大辞典第5版
フロント 外字(furonto)
[...]
4 〔プロ野球団の経営陣〕 a front office.
●フロントと意見の対立があって監督が辞任した. The manager resigned 「after [due to] disagreement with the front office.
.
Webster:
front office
(noun) the people who manage a business or organization (such as a professional sports team)
.
I tried to add
  [expl="the people who manage a professional baseball team"]
after "front office" but it seems I've got the syntax wrong.
