One thing Andrew Friedman has done since he took over is to make sure the Dodgers are extremely deep in talent. When you consider where they have drafted over the last several years, the influx of talent to the team has been pretty steady. And his trades have brought back some very talented players.
He also has kept his free agent options open, and then will sign a player he feels helps make the team better. This offseason, LA had 8 free agents. 5 left, Pederson, McGee, Wood, Baez and Hernandez. 3 were resigned, Nelson, Trienen, and Turner.
