The Los Angeles Dodgers made headlines early Monday morning when it was revealed their brass, including CEO Stan Kasten, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and manager Dave Roberts, flew to Las Vegas on Sunday night to meet with free agent Bryce Harper.
The Dodgers had reported interest in Harper at the beginning of the winter, but after signing fellow outfielder A.J. Pollock, they were believed to be out of the running for the 26-year-old.
“I think that’s something that we’ve always said is we’re always trying to make our team better potentially,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts answered when asked about the meeting with Harper.
