Yes, people think that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, but sometimes, it’s crabgrass… or Astroturf. People have traveled the world looking for something that was already right under their chin at home. Conventional wisdom demands that the Dodgers add a RH Power Bat, a Frontline Starter, and a Lockdown Reliever. The conventional wisdom demands that Andrew Friedman not look at the waiver wire or the bone pile. The conventional wisdom says he has to sign free agents and make trades to improve the team.
I happen to think that conventional thinking is wrong on two of the three “Fan Mandates” to Andrew Friedman.
