So glad to have a man of vision like Andrew leading the organization.
And Guggenheim for opening up the wallet and allowing Andrew Friedman and the front office to do their thing and put a great team together every year. It's awesome to see it as a fan of the team.
We are the luckiest fans in baseball. I wouldn't want to be a Padres, Mets, or Yankees fan, that's for sure
💯#
The best part of this interview is when Andrew said...we invest that money aggressively for our fans! Music to my ears! ⚾️💙 Best time to be a Dodger fan!
We need an Andrew Friedman bobblehead night!
keep rewarding us Andrew! 🔥🔥 us Dodger fans will continue to show up!
Dodger Blue is elite for getting this video
Andrew belongs in the Hall just like Dave Roberts
GOAT Front Office Operator

4:26 This is why we love Andrew Friedman and this ownership group. We thank you! I hope they understand how much it means to consider us the fans and the love we have for this team. By being willing to put out a winning product for us to enjoy. This creates a matching synergy between fans, ownership, and the players.
There's a reason the Dodgers are good every single year, and yes, money is a big factor, but it all starts with quality people at the top, like our ownership and Andrew. It is not easy to win at the length the Dodgers have... I don't care how much money you have! I have full confidence in anything Andrew does! We are so lucky to have him and the ownership!
What about Teoscar Hernandez signing? Get it done! Great player.
He’s one of the last pieces of the puzzle.
Only if it's a 1/1 or 2/1 deal. But if Hernandez wants a 3 or 3/1 deal, I think Friedman might take the comp pick.
This front office knows what they’re doing, Fans need to just shut up and CHEER! and let them do their jobs, They’ve earned that and if Teo wants too much, IDC how much he cries I cheer for the front of the jerseys not the BACKS
@ Yes, lets all shut up and CHEER! You sound like a real dork. Do you tuck in your vintage Dodgers t-shirts into your Wrangler jeans 👖 while sporting 10 year old New Balances?
We should be appreciating the fact TEO hasn't forced a hand knowing we're still in the hunt for SoTo. Personally I'd sign Teo, Kike and Trienan
Much higher quality than "Dodgers Nation"
4:40 why AF is cool af🔥
The audacity of the question about "ruining baseball" by spending ownership's money on the betterment of the team. Did anyone ask Jerry Jones about ruining football? Having the most well know team but the performance of that team for fans stinks like garbage. In today's competitive sport, the one willing to spend on the right people wins. Every sport is like that. Would you race in the F1 series with a rally car?
Or the Kentucky derby with a donkey?
Exactly. Don't hate the player, hate the game
Don't use Senile Jones. Bad example. Cowboys spend almost nothing on FA market since 2013. Literally deadlast.
Somebody needs to pay some attention to that heater/AC behind Andrew, those vents are disgustingly filthy!
I love these answers. It's not "trust us, we're trying." Or making any sort of excuses. He says it. The fans put pressure on the team to win and now. The players expect to win and now. And the owners expect to win and now. And so that front office feels that pressure. They've promised owners, fans, and players that they will win. And they're proving that commitment everyday. Best front office in the league. And a role model of how to be a professional.
Some of these reporters ask questions that the answers have already been given - smh
I can feel the fan disappointment from there previous owners, the current owners want to win. The fan deserved this
I can imagine Ben & Woods watching this & criticting... Welcome Blake & go Dodgers!!!!
I hope they continue to be aggressive, because the infield needs upgrading. They need more contact over power hitters who can play defense and run the bases. Kim and Hoerner would be ideal and would keep Betts in RF. Fortifying the bullpen with sugano and Romano for me, would be the play and a lefty corner OF to platoon with pages, like winker or Yoshida. My dream, however unlikely, would be to replace Muncy at third with someone like Royce Lewis. And then cross your fingers with sasaki. It sounds like a lot of changes, but rival teams are going to level up plus, they will treat every series like the playoffs. So, reloading and not just tweaking the lineup would be the reasonable move.
Finally, someone who sees that an upgrade is needed.
Kim would be ideal, completely agree. I was looking at the stats of the other Kim (Hy-Seong) who's beeing posted from KBP and are really appealing, and he can also play in LF. One of my high hopes would be K. Tucker (the only astro I could stomach) but that's a long shot....maybe if they keep Bregman...
I'm a fan of his. I'm hopeful all the signing rumors are just that. Rumors. Don't need Soto. Don't need Arenado. Run it back with the boys who've proven they can do it.
Dodgers still have money to sign Roki Sasaki, corbin burnes or max fried, dodgers trade bullpen pitcher dodgers sign second basement or trade and dodgers Carlos Estévezbor tanner scott and resign teoscar Hernández
If you were moving to an area with much higher income taxes, why would you not want deferrals? Snell will pay no state income tax on his $52 million signing bonus, because he lives in Washington state, which has no personal income tax, and then, assuming he remains in Washington when the contract ends, there will be no state income tax on all of the deferred payments. For context, the top tax rate in California is nearly 15%. All the chatter about deferrals is, as Friedman said, a lazy narrative.
please get teo signed AF. please.
Re-sign Teo already
Now sign teo
I think the Snell signing is a mistake
Bring Soto home Friedman! We will deal with 2040 when it gets here. Take advantage of these stars while they are still in their prime. Our outfield right now does not look good. Taylor, Outman, Pages. Soto is 400 times better than Teoscar. Clear upgrade. Let’s become a dynasty, leave sentiment out the window. Outfield is our only hole on the roster so we can definitely splurge for Soto. Plus we getting Roki for league minimum soon. More incentive to give Soto what he wants
Lol I don’t know about 400 times, but you have some good points
would rather have Teoscar for a fraction of the price and have someone in the dugout who knows how to hype up the team and make it a good team chemistry.
@@Rase23Teoscar is good and I would like a reunion if they can’t get Soto but Soto is clearly a better player. Even on defense Soto statistically is better. If a player like Soto wants to be a dodger you have no other choice but to sign him. Even if it means a fan favorite and good player like Teoscar most likely won’t be back. Not saying I wouldn’t want Teo back. I only prefer Soto over him. We really only need outfielders right now. So the argument about “spreading the money” is kinda not relevant. Especially since Roki Sasaki is potentially coming for league minimum. The dodgers have the luxury of not having so many holes on the team, to the point where they can splurge on Soto
Hep, what if no Soto means Teo and adamas?
@@livinb450Then so be it. Passing on Soto just to get Teoscar and Adames is like passing on a mansion in favor of two studio apartments. Adames has a lot of concerns. His defense declined, he has a lot of James Outman in his offensive profile. Inconsistent as well. Teoscar is good but he is older and Soto is superior. But if they don’t get Soto Teo is clearly the best option for outfield. Not a fan of Adames
Glasnow was a terrible trade. Should have committed with Burnes was a lot cheaper and no history of TJ. Always felt the midsize signings KC made were very underrated. I would rather have proper pitchers that can last than dazzling stuff.
Literally pay 2 win. This team is ruining baseball... Sickens me to my core.
That’s a dumb and misinformed thing to say. Lots of other teams spend THE SAME and didn’t win. Dodgers have years spending tons and NOT winning. Be mad your team isn’t that committed to winning 🤷♀️
Dudes another Padres or Giants fan still hurt because his team lost 🤣🤣
If it makes you sick to your core, it makes me extremely happy. Please stay sick to your core 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
