""A destination spot is where players and their families feel incredibly well taken care of," Friedman said. "If they're playing in front of 7,000 people, they don't feel that as much."
""Playing in front of 50,000 people, and seeing the passion and how much people live and die for the Dodgers each summer and each October, I think, adds to the experience and allure of playing here.""
""a 100 percent certainty""
""This isn't just about, let's spend a lot of money.""
The Dodgers replaced a $17-million left fielder by committing $240 million to Kyle Tucker, adding a high-priced corner outfielder to an already elite lineup. Ownership frustration over multiple recent star signings has prompted some owners to push for a salary cap when the collective bargaining agreement expires. Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said the team's immediate focus is delivering the best product to large, passionate crowds and that Los Angeles serves as a destination where players and families feel well cared for. Friedman emphasized that the strategy is about experience and allure, not solely spending.
