Andrew Friedman is always looking for ways to upgrade the Dodgers roster whether it be through signing free agents in the offseason or finding diamonds in the rough that were cast off by their former teams. He’s also been known to finesse teams through the trade market from time to time. One memorable trade was the one pulled off with the Cincinnati Reds.
The Dodgers traded away Matt Kemp, Alex Wood, Yasiel Puig, and Kyle Farmer in exchange for Homer Bailey as well as prospects Jeter Downs and Josiah Gray. Of course, Friedman eventually used both prospects in trades for Mookie Betts, Max Scherzer, and Trea Turner.
