The Dodgers' front office has been in a slump and it hasn't helped that the organization's top boss seems to be out of touch.
Three years ago, on a makeshift stage at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, Mark Walter celebrated his greatest moment as Dodgers owner. The Commissioner’s Trophy was in his hands. The Dodgers were World Series champions. Shortly after Walter passed the 30-pound sterling silver piece to Andrew Friedman, a television broadcaster asked him what the championship meant for the city of Los Angeles and the franchise.
Over time, he’s been seen at the ballpark less and less. This season, he attended only a handful of games. A recent request by The Times to speak to Walter was rejected by the Dodgers. In Walter’s absence, the once cutting-edge baseball operations department has become a caricature of itself, now paralyzed by its insistence on winning every deal.
