After a disappointing showing in the 2014 postseason, the Los Angeles Dodgers overhauled their front office and lured Andrew Friedman away from the Tampa Bay Rays by creating a president of baseball operations position.
Friedman has since rebuilt the farm system to annually being ranked among MLB’s best and all the while assembled a roster that’s boasted plenty of depth and lifted the Dodgers into World Series contention. However, after back-to-back appearances in the Fall Classic, they were eliminated in the National League Division Series this year.
That brought about plenty of public scrutiny and calls for the Dodgers to part with manager Dave Roberts and Friedman as well.
