Andrew Friedman has guided the Los Angeles Dodgers to the World Series in three of the last four years, but this one is extra special for him as he is going up against his former organization, the Tampa Bay Rays.
Friedman made a name for himself as general manager of the Rays from 2005-14, getting them to the World Series in 2008. He then took on the challenge of returning the Dodgers to greatness and is on the verge of doing that although he will have to go through his former team to do so.
“I’ve been trying to process it,” Friedman said of the Dodgers and Rays meeting in the Fall Classic.
