LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers first major change of the offseason came on the training staff, as Stan Conte resigned as vice president of medical services and head athletic trainer, the team announced on Saturday.
Conte spent nine years with the Dodgers, hired by then-general-manager Ned Colletti in October 2006 after the two worked together with the Giants.
"I want to thank the Dodger organization and specifically each and every one of the dedicated medical staff for their support these last nine seasons in Los Angeles," Conte said in a press release. "My resignation will allow me to focus on my research in baseball injury analytics as I remain committed to determining the causes and effects of various baseball injuries.
