Dodgers News | Rumors: Kenta Maeda to L.A., Stan Kasten Feels Talkative And More

It’s been a supremely quiet Wednesday, with the only noise coming from Stan Kasten’s office seemingly. There is some pretty great analysis out there, though, to go with Kasten’s quotes.

Dodgers Nation

• Stan Kasten spoke about the criticism sports executives encounter simply because of the position they hold.
• He then took a long look at how the Dodgers’ offseason has gone thus far. He’s not too concerned.
• Lastly, Kasten spoke about the size of the net the Dodgers cast in free agency and on the trade market.
• Mike Piazza appears heading to the Hall of Fame. Might he signal a shift in how the voters see alleged steroid users?
