Will the Dodgers make a trade deadline splash? Andrew Friedman promises to be aggressive

LA Times  

Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman talks with manager Dave Roberts at their spring training baseball facility in Glendale, Ariz. Two, they will be “aggressive” in pursuit of a bigger splash, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said — though the possibility of such a deal materializing seemingly remains uncertain at best. “To the extent that we can continue to reinforce or add to this nucleus,” Friedman said in a dugout interview prior to the Dodgers series-opener against the Toronto Blue Jays, “we’re gonna look to do that and be aggressive as we can.” Aggressiveness, of course, is a subjective term, particularly in a market that has yet to be defined. And we’ll let the market dictate what that is.” Given Austin Barnes’ woeful offensive numbers this year, Friedman said the catching market is another area the Dodgers will explore -- though finding a clear upgrade could be difficult, with the club’s faith in Barnes’ game-calling ability remaining steady. So we’ll continue to operate that way.” If that means trading away top prospects for players the club feels can make sizable contributions, so be it, Friedman said.
