It’s the first official day of Winter Meetings in Las Vegas, so let’s get caught up on happenings and rumors before things (hopefully) get going for the Dodgers.
On Sunday, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman announced that the team has hired Jeff Kingston to be vice president and assistant general manager. Kingston had previously held the same position with the Seattle Mariners since 2009 and started his baseball operations career with the San Diego Padres in 2001.
The Dodgers have lost four members of their front office in the last year and a half, including Alex Anthopolos, Gabe Kapler, Jeremy Zoll, and most notably, Farhan Zaidi.
