Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman has openly identified adding a right-handed bat to the group of position players and addressing the bullpen as areas of importance this offseason, which manager Dave Roberts echoed.
“If you look at our roster, we lost some leverage guys to free agency, so to kind of backfill would be great,” Roberts said Thursday. “And getting a right-handed bat. I love our lineup, I love the mix of players. So I think the right-handed bat and leverage reliever is probably on our wish list.”
To this point the Dodgers both literally and figuratively have primarily focused on minor deals.
