The big topic of discussion this winter has been the Los Angeles Dodgers’ ability to use deferrals when it comes to signing players to big contracts.
The front office has mastered the skill, if that’s even what to call it.
For some reason, executives across the league have called the Dodgers out for their usage of deferrals rather than using the same strategy themselves.
ESPN insider Buster Olney told Doug McKain of Dodgers Nation that the strategy is “almost a no brainer in business.”
“Every other team has the opportunity to do that, they should do it,” Olney said on Dodgers Dougout Live.
