The Dodgers' Edwin Díaz signing confirmed what baseball fans already know but still somehow managed to take us by surprise: baseball executives lie.
Andrew Friedman and Brandon Gomes (with some help from Dave Roberts) stuck to the same position before signing Díaz. The Dodgers have a very complete roster as it is, and they didn't feel like they needed to make a big splash.
How's signing the most highly coveted free agent closer on the market for a splash?
So when Gomes said on some recent Teoscar Hernández rumors, "That's not something we anticipate at all," Dodgers fans knew to remain a little skeptical.
