Since taking the helm as Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball operations in 2014, Andrew Friedman has made a name for himself as one of the more aggressive executives across the sport.
From offseason signings to midseason acquisitions, Friedman hasn’t hesitated to pull the trigger on a big move if it meant improving the Dodgers’ odds of winning a World Series. He’s been equally as shrewd with minor transactions as well.
Friedman has lived up to his reputation in each of the previous three non-waiver trade deadlines, yielding a plethora of young prospects to add some of the top available players such as Rich Hill, Yu Darvish and Manny Machado.
