The Dodgers entered the day of trade deadline with their sights set on adding an upper-tier reliever to their bullpen. Felipe Vazquez and Shane Greene were two of the closers they had eyes on. Vazquez was kept by the Pirates after the Dodgers failed to include Dustin May or Gavin Lux in a deal, while the Braves added Shane Greene as well as a few other relievers.
Naturally, many fans began to point the finger at Andrew Friedman, the man who is in charge of navigating the Dodgers to their first World Series title since 1988. But be wary of accusing Friedman of doing nothing, he was on SportsNet LA earlier this week and said the Dodgers made aggressive offers they could’ve regretted later on after the season.
