Could Dodgers' depth strategy turn off the veterans it needs to succeed?
Nationals outfielder Chris Heisey batted a career-low .182 last season when playing for the Dodgers. (Nick Wass / Associated Press)In the two years that Andrew Friedman has been the Dodgers’ president of baseball operations, the team has won the National League West both times, with Friedman building championship teams upon a foundation of depth.
That could prove more difficult for Friedman as the years go on, according to Washington Nationals outfielder Chris Heisey.
The strategy depends in part on veterans willing to sign with the Dodgers and shuttle between the major leagues and minor leagues all season.
