It was 25 years ago today that the Dodgers signed center fielder Brett Butler as a free agent, adding one of the best leadoff hitters in franchise history and one of the best of his generation.
It was an aggressive offseason makeover for the Dodgers, coming off an 86-win campaign in 1990 that saw them finish in second place, five games behind the World Series champion Reds.
On November 8, the Dodgers made the biggest splash, signing free agent Los Angeles native and surefire future Hall of Famer Darryl Strawberry to a massive five-year, $20.
