Dodgers Nation Week In Review: October 13 — October 19
The Los Angeles Dodgers wasted no time moving forward following their playoff elimination. After spending years as the Tampa Bay Rays’ general manager, Andrew Friedman agreed to join the Dodgers on Tuesday and became the team’s president of baseball operations.
Friedman was officially introduced Friday during a press conference. With his move, Ned Colletti took a new role as senior advisor to the president. Replacing Colletti as general manager is on the list of items Friedman needs to address in the off-season. Names have been tossed around, but nothing is concrete.
While a GM hire is expected at some point, one area Friedman offered more clarity on is the future of manager Don Mattingly. Friedman said in his press conference he’s held multiple conversations with Mattingly that went well, and confirmed the manager would return in 2015.
