Part 2/8:
Gonzalez kicked off the conversation by expressing a mix of exasperation and excitement about the continuous signings by the Dodgers. The franchise, known for its financial muscle, has taken an almost insatiable approach to building a championship-caliber team. He mentioned how the Dodgers’ front office has shifted its strategies, moving from a more conservative spending pattern to a freewheeling one, buoyed in part by their investment in Shohei Ohtani.
As Gonzalez articulated, this is now the second offseason where the Dodgers have snagged a series of elite players. The signing of Tanner Scott was particularly notable; previously, the team was not known for investing heavily in backend relievers, illustrating their newfound willingness to bolster every aspect of their roster.
