Ever since his end of the season press conference, Andrew Friedman has appeared in numerous interviews and the common theme from them has been “flexibility” and “lots of options”. Friedman is true to his word here as there are a lot of options available for the Dodgers to upgrade their roster for the 2020 season.
The first kind of flexibility the team has is “cap space”. While baseball doesn’t have a salary cap, the luxury tax has teams like the Dodgers operating like they are on a salary cap limit. The Dodgers have been hesitant to go over the luxury tax line during Friedman’s payroll slashing over the last few seasons.
