Los Angeles Dodgers Front Office Recognized as Elite in Baseball

The Los Angeles Dodgers' front office has been recognized as one of the premier organizations in Major League Baseball, according to a survey conducted among executives and coaches by Moneyline. An executive noted that the first-place vote for the Dodgers was 'self-explanatory,' emphasizing their elite capabilities across various aspects of team management.
Since taking the helm of baseball operations in the fall of 2014, president Andrew Friedman has significantly shaped the franchise, inheriting a wealth of talent from former president Ned Colletti. While many of those stars have since departed, Clayton Kershaw remains a notable fixture with the team. Alongside general manager Brandon Gomes and assistant general managers Jeff Kingston and Alex Slater, the Dodgers' front office has been characterized as a 'juggernaut' in the league.
Friedman's influence has ushered in what he envisioned as the 'golden era of Dodger Baseball,' a goal further bolstered by the team's consistent postseason appearances, two World Series titles, and two National League pennants. The recent acquisition of three-time MVP Shohei Ohtani has been hailed as a strategic coup, further enhancing Friedman's legacy. The farm system continues to produce promising prospects, thanks in part to the efforts of scouting director Billy Gasparino. His ability to draft talent despite selecting later in the first round is noteworthy. Friedman's approach to midseason acquisitions, which has included high-profile players like Max Scherzer, Trea Turner, and Manny Machado, exemplifies his capacity to address weaknesses and keep the Dodgers competitive.
