When Andrew Friedman was named President of Baseball Operations for the Dodgers it was a dream come true for me. Let me be clear: I do not claim to know what he knows, but in my business I always hire people smarter than me (that narrows it down to 98% of the population), and Andrew is most certainly smarter than me… probably you too!
When he was hired, Stan Kasten charged him with winning by improving the farm system while winning at the MLB level as well. He was not allowed to “tank” for even one season, let alone multiple seasons, like just about every other team.
