Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman commented on the Dodgers’ spending on their bullpen following the signing of All-Star closer Edwin Diaz on Tuesday.
While Friedman couldn’t comment on Diaz directly because his signing isn’t yet official, he elaborated on why the Dodgers are comfortable in spending big on their relief arms.
“We are in a real strong position right now, financially, and our ownership group has been incredibly supportive of pouring that back into our team and that partnership with our fans,” Freidman said. “As we look at things, if we were on a really tight budget we probably wouldn’t allocate in the same way.
