Dodgers notes: Andrew Friedman worries, Jason Heyward joins front office
While Andrew Freidman continues to worry about the offense, Jason Heyward joins the front office as special assistant
The Dodgers offense, something still to be talked about in negative tones. After the second consecutive World Series win, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman told his wife that could alleviate some stress in April and May. His wife didn’t believe him, and his theory has not panned out so far this spring.
“I should’ve gotten it before”, he told Maddie Lee and the L. A. Times on Tuesday.
“What we know for a fact is every guy is going to have ups and downs,” Friedman said. “And this is some of the randomness of baseball. Sometimes those happen spread out, which allows your offense to thrive, and sometimes they happen concurrently, and that’s when you go into some real offensive lulls.
And I feel like that’s more random than anything. ” Random or not, it has been a rough watch. Shohei Ohtani homered on Tuesday, but was out of Wednesday night’s lineup, and is expected to be out of Thursday’s lineup too.
