In the two years that Andrew Friedman has been the Dodgers’ president of baseball operations, the team has won the National League West both times, with Friedman building championship teams upon a foundation of depth.
That could prove more difficult for Friedman as the years go on, according to Washington Nationals outfielder Chris Heisey.
The strategy depends in part on veterans willing to sign with the Dodgers and shuttle between the major leagues and minor leagues all season.
Heisey did that for the Dodgers last year. He did not enjoy it and said veterans might think long and hard before signing a minor league contract with the Dodgers.
