Dodgers' President of Baseball Operations remains flexible ahead of winter meetings

During his time with your Los Angeles Dodgers, Andrew Friedman has shown his prowess for amassing talent. Whether through the draft, trade, free agency, international signings, etc. the club is never short of exciting players to watch. He does, however, possess another unique skill.

Andrew Friedman reigns supreme at using a lot of words to say very little. This is to his benefit. In doing so, he never tips his hand, and the Dodgers are always in play for everyone. 

Ahead of the Winter Meetings, Friedman flexed this particular muscle when discussing his plans for next week,

“From our standpoint, we’re never trying to time something to happen at the Winter Meetings,” Friedman said. “It is whenever a deal lines up and makes sense, we do it irrespective of the day.”

It truly is a marvel how he can use 32.5 words to not give any real insight as to how he will approach signings during the Winter Meetings.

As mentioned above though, this benefits him and overall the organization. By remaining vague, he keeps the organization flexible. He does not box himself into a timeline and he lets the market come to him.

In part, this is how he has been able to produce a winning roster for the better part of a decade. This mindset also helped him land Freddie Freeman on one of the best contracts in baseball.

It can be frustrating at times, knowing he gives out very little information. However, when it helps him put together All-Star lineups year in and year out, it becomes clear why he does it.
