After a season in which the Los Angeles Dodgers fell well short of their goal by being eliminated in the National League Division Series, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman spoke optimistically about the franchise’s outlook.
He noted talent already on the roster, financial flexibility and wealth of Minor League prospects that would allow for the Dodgers to be a factor in the trade market. Thus far into the offseason the team has been linked to free agents Gerrit Cole, Josh Donaldson and Hyun-Jin Ryu, and a potential trade for Francisco Lindor.
L.A. figures to address their starting rotation in some capacity, as along with Ryu, Rich Hill also is no longer under contract.
