When the Los Angeles Dodgers were taken over by the Guggenheim group, they showed an immediate willingness to spend on players. No more was that evident than the team leading the Majors in payroll in each of the past four seasons.
What’s perhaps been more impressive, however, is the Dodgers simultaneously restocked a farm system that quickly became one of the best in all of baseball. It’s produced the likes of Joc Pederson, Corey Seager and Cody Bellinger, all of which were All-Stars in their rookie seasons.
In the case of Seager and Bellinger, they both were a unanimous selection for the National League Rookie of the Year Award.
