The Los Angeles Dodgers' president of baseball operations, Andrew Friedman, took an aggressive approach in free agency to enhance the team for their World Series title defense. Notable acquisitions include Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki among others. Friedman aims to minimize reliance on deadline trades due to injury challenges in previous seasons. He emphasizes the necessity of bolstering pitching depth and improving injury management, revealing insights into his strategy and commitment to team development beyond just mid-season adjustments.
"We're going to spend a lot of time on our pitching and injuries, just try to wrap our arms around it more. It's obviously a big problem in the industry."
"I will never make that mistake again. We're going to do everything we can to put ourselves in a position to not [buy in July]."
