Friedman adds that Dave Roberts will be back as manager and no staffing changes are planned after the team’s second consecutive first-round playoff defeat
Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman gestures during a news conference Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2022, at Dodger Stadium. LOS ANGELES — Booted from the postseason in four games by the San Diego Padres last fall, Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman called it “an organizational failure.”
“Our goal was to win 11 games in October and we didn’t win one. So we need to figure out what we can do differently and how to go about it.” “With the talent, with how much they care, with their work ethic, how much they care about these fans and doing everything we can to win a championship in 2024, it felt like making a change would be for the sake of it instead of actually bringing better, more talented people here.”
Friedman also would not blame the playoff format, which gives the top two seeds in each league a first-round bye and five days off before starting postseason play – even though the 100-win Dodgers, Braves and Orioles were eliminated in the Division Series round. It was unexpected in 2022 as well. And yet, the Dodgers have followed up 211 regular-season wins with back-to-back first-round playoff exits.
