Gonna be fun seeing what Andrew Friedman can do with some actual money. — Jesse Spector (@jessespector) October 14, 2014
Andrew Friedman made magic on skinflint payrolls with the Rays. He’s gonna have $200M+ a year to do it with the Dodgers. Best hire possible.

=====
This is a great hire for the Dodgers. Sure, there’s going to be a lot of pressure on Friedman to succeed, but he is widely regarded as one of, if not the smartest baseball minds in the game, and he now works for the Dodgers. Happiness.
